[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 2942784, member: 122164"] We killed some big Nebraska Corn-fed whitetail bucks with 95g Partitions, which seemed to be much more accurate than a 100g Partition with a hot load of IMR 4831 and a Rem 9 1/2 primer with a tad bit of jump to the lands. The 95g Partition penetrates extremely well, but does not leave much of a blood trail. The muzzle velocity in our load was around 3150 fps. With my nephews, I bought them both a set of Peltor Tac 6 electronic ear muffs to use in the stand. They were amazed at how much more they could hear. The quickly learned the difference between a squirrel digging for acorns and a deer walking, same with Turkeys. You could not imagine their amazement the first time they heard a buck snort wheeze, immature bucks practice fighting by rattling their horns together. I taught them to use a rattle bag and grunt call at an early age, which added a whole new dimension to their understanding of hunting. [/QUOTE]
