First of all, please don't bother telling me my .270 isn't powerfull enough for elk. It's the rifle I have and the rifle I'm using. I am going on a cow elk hunt in two weeks and have a question on which bullet to use. It will be either a 140 grain Accubond or a 140 grain Partition. I have handloads ready. Both shoot good groups in my Ruger and the point of impact is about the same, so I can decide the morning of the hunt when I load up. Last year, I was ready to use the Accubond, but at the last minute, decided to go with the proven performance of the Partition. My cow didn't go over 30 yards after the shot. So why even consider the Accubond? I like to try new things and the Accubond groups a little better than the Partition. What do you think? Thanks, Jim
