[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1799882, member: 13632"] I wouldn't shoot a Partition at 600 yards, they all of the sudden will stop even thinking about opening, I've dug a lot of them out of elk that you could load and shoot again, great bullet back in the day but with a BC that of a brick you can make a big gain by shooting a modern bullet with better design. If you run the 175 Partition out at 2900 fps and a 175 Berger at the same you GAIN 300 fps and 500 ft lbs of energy, that's taking a bullet from marginal to right in it's wheel house at 600 yards, you shoot 2 moa flatter and the big kicker you cut almost 2 full moa of your windage in a 10 mph wind at 600, that's HUGE!! There are a ton of great bullets, terrain and chamber will dictate what's best but don't let guys fool you that BC means nothing because it does, just the windage numbers should rock your mind when you start thinking about pushing range!!
