[QUOTE="North61, post: 591897, member: 40167"] Hate to bring this thread back from the dead but..... I have spent 22 years in Labrador/NWT.Nunavut/Yukon and in that time have likely harvested over 50 caribou. Caribou will drop right away when double lung shot with a soft bullet. Why I like the partition is that it acts like a soft bullet up front with a hard back up. I have dropped many lung shot caribou instantly with a 308 and 150-165 Partitions. Hornady interlocks and Sierras work too. The best string of one shot kills I have had is with a 6.5 Rem and 120 Sierra's. Remarkable string of bang-flops. I have had slower kills with larger calibers and harder bullets. A 350 Rem Mag that I still have is a wonderful rig, but caribou where doing the 50-100 yard dash after lung shots at long range because the bullets I was using weren't creating the massive shock impulse that fast expansion will give. You can't shock some tougher animals to death but caribou you can. Go frangible (within reason) young man. Leave the Accubonds for Moose or Bear. [/QUOTE]
