[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1106540, member: 10755"] I know I'm coming into this late, I've been using the 25-06 for more than 20 years, we have Sambar deer here, they run about as heavy as an elk cow (600lbs), I've found the 115gr Partition to be outstanding on these. Shots behind the shoulder have been bang flop, but, admittedly, these have hit the spine as well as both lungs. The 120gr Partition hasn't penetrated as far with the same shot placement, often only taking one lung and stopping in the vertabrae, why, I cannot explain. I would not hesitate taking any bull elk with a 115gr Partition. I run RL25 @ 57gr in Rem brass and WLRM primers, velocity is 3266fps. Cheers. gun) [/QUOTE]
