Both would be excellent choices. The Partition has a very good track record but I am impressed with the Fusion ammo as well. I have tried in in three calibers with very, very good results.

You would be in great shape with a 150gr nosler accubond. Great penetration and expansion with high velocity rounds. Or 150gr swift sciroccos, though the accuracy of the accubonds are hard to beat in most rifles.

I've had a Win M70 .300WSM for 4 years now ... I've only used it on southern whitetails and have had my best accuracy with the 150gr Winchester Supreme Ballistic Tip. It shoots 'em right at an inch at 100yds and every deer I've ever shot with 'em has dropped like you hit it with a sledgehammer, at ranges from 15 yds to 350 yds. My best advice would be to try various loads and see what your rifle likes the best. Good luck!

As a side note, I do not advocate Supreme ballistic tips in under 150 grs. My Dad lost a deer last season, and my brother almost did using 130 BT's in their 270's. They expanded too quickly and did not exit.

I have had no problems with NBTs on deer but wouldn't suggest them as all purpose load for the likes of elk. I have had very few non exits with the NBT on our canadian whitetails or mulies and even those that didn't were DRT.
To the question I have no experience with Fusion ammo, sorry. The NP or Accubond would be a fine choice, both have worked well for deer through moose IME.
Good Luck

I have killed 9 elk with 180gr ballistic tips out of my 300ultramags.Several were complete pass throughs with the last one penetrating both front shoulders before stopping against the hide.I have also killed another 20+ deer,bighorn ,and pronghorn using the 140gr ballistic tip out of my 7mmstws.The majority did exit.Not one of these animals covered 50 yards after being hit with a ballistic tip,and most dropped on the spot or within a step or two.
