[QUOTE="the444shooter, post: 1496652, member: 46"] I would stick with the partition. I believe yours is a fluke scenario, and the gun is sighted in for them. 180* opposite from the above experience, but I've used the Barnes family of bullets with great success, and typically they're one of my first recommendations. The ELD-X, however, gave me iffy results in 7mm Rem Mag (akin to what you experienced with the cow elk and partition) with minimal penetration, but preformed with aplomb on a mule deer. If you're concerned about bullet placement, and your daughter might hit heavy bone, DO NOT use the ELD-X bullet--it has less of a margin for error as your current load with the 140gr Partition. The 140gr Partition will work for you for the remainder of the season, and if you're that rattled about their performance, then maybe re-evaluate for next season when you have time to clean and re-zero for another bullet.
