[QUOTE="wvmountainhick, post: 810346, member: 68562"] At that range the .280 or AI would be adequate. If going with the 280 I'd feed definitely use a premium bullet. Actually, if prob use a premium bullet either way. The Barnes bullets are great if your gun will throw them. I'm not a fan of partitions at all. I'm sure most have had good luck with them but I've had them separate while shooting whitetail deer. 2 separate wound channels that resulted in very dead deer in all cases but still not what I'd expected for that you're of bullet. Were it me, I'd be leaving towards right the Barnes, Nosler Accubond, or the Hornady Interbond. Really like the Interbonds personally.I've had full penetration on whitetail at 300 yards and that was along from the rear flank clear through the off side shoulder. If it had entered the ham it would have no doubt traveled the entire length of the animals body. That was a 130 grain fired from a .270 Winchester. Not sure if this helps any. My personal vote would be for the .300 WM though. [/QUOTE]
