I like the partitions. I have never tried them in a gun that didn't shoot them pretty well. I can echo one thing though. My Browning A-Bolt 308 shoots Core-Lokts better than anything. My 30-06 Remington pump shoots honest 1 1/2 inch or smaller groups with anything I have tried in it. That would be Partitions, Sierra Pro-Hunters and Ballistic tips. I have some Core-Lokts loaded for it but have not tried them yet. I would try some Partitions if I were you and if they shoot well I would use THEM for elk.
