kobeinu,
We usually take our elk with Partitions. My wife with a 308 150 grn. me with 35 Whelen 225 grn.
The 7x57 I just finished for her for this years hunt. I have been thinking as I was putting it together about cast. I was looking at the 160 grainers that I was planning on loading for her, how long and sleek they are, and wondered how a boollit would look loaded in that case. My thoughts drift that way sometimes....
