I was 100grn game kings figured absolute max 200 for a doe about 150 heavy buck mulie . You ought to be ok out to 225 ,but only if you HAVE to shoot that far and are sure of the shot.

Sounds like a skinny deer. You may consider something like a ballistic tip, because you can afford the quick expansion. Anyways,I like partitions too; I'd say as long as you can hit the sweet spot on a deer with that load it should be fine for a 400 yard shot.

First...The Partition isn't your best selection for long range shooting...They are a harder bullet that give controlled expansion...I have killed several out to 300 yards with a 85gr HPBT Sierra GameKing...At that range you will have more internal damage with the Sierra over the Partition...

I will be honest, my comfort zone is 250 yds and under, not that my .243 isnt effective farther, it's just that I dont think I am.
