[QUOTE="DMP25-06, post: 2194540, member: 27271"] I would reccommend the 200 grain Nosler Partition for 0 - 700 yards at your 3150 FPS muzzle velocity . It should penetrate , expand , and exit at those yardages . I have experience with the 180 grain Partition , at 3200 FPS from a .300 Weatherby , and a very large Black Bear back in 1973 . 150 yard shot into front of left front shoulder , and exited out of right rear hip . Broke LF shoulder entering , and broke RR hip exiting , and made a mess of vital organs . In 1988 , I shot a spike bull Elk , with my 7mm Rem. Magnum , running 150 grain Nosler Partitions at 3210 FPS , at a distance of 75 yards . The Elk was quartering away from me moving from my left to right , and I was aiming behind it's RF shoulder . However , just as I squeezed the trigger , my friend came running toward me from the left , and the Elk spun quickly to it's left , and I ended-up with the proverbial "Texas Heart Shot". The bullet entered 1" above the rectum , through the pelvic bone , into the spinal column taking out more than 24" of spinal vertebrae , then through top of the right lung , through the RF shoulder , finally coming to rest just under the skin in front of the right front shoulder . All total , over 4 feet of penetration , and recovery of the rear partition and core . The elk dropped on the spot , although I did walk up to it and fire a finishing shot . I also shot a moose with that 7mm Rem Mag , 150 gr. Partition , at 60 yards , broadside shot entering through LF shoulder , exiting through RF shoulder . Moose dropped in it's tracks . The Partition will reliably expand , then loose the front mushroom , and retain 65 % of it's weight in the rear of the bullet , behind the partition . Exceptional bullets , just not a high Ballistic Coefficient . Also , all of the Partitions that I have used have been very accurate . .243 Win , .25-06 Rem , .270 Weatherby , 7mm Rem mag , .300 Weatherby , and .340 Weatherby . DMP25-06 [/QUOTE]
