it was my sons 243 that got me into using partition bullets . I had varying results with bullets , some needing long tracking jobs . after I switched to the partition bullet , my tracking his deer was over . most , or all , fell withing his sight
the partition will penetrate that , for sure . I'm a shoot them tight behind the shoulder guy . the ballistic tip or partition works well for me . a lot depends on your velocity . higher velocity cartridges can benefit from a more robust bullet . I see your using a 308 , or a 30.06 ...
as was mentioned public ground is tough . chances are you will have company . so keep safety in mind . there is a collapsed blind lying beside this open field on the woods edge .
in the middle of the pic , a camera watching the woods . mounted on the tree right under the...

I can't see Tikka building the PRC on the long action , although I could be wrong . would be worth looking into . changing the bolt stop is simple . this is one big advantage of Tikka using one action with different bolt stops .
my only suggestion for hunting with Berger bullets , is to be sure the hollow point hole is open , and not plugged up with , I think, polishing media . I sort my bullets , and use the ones with plugged holes for targets .
I've been thinking on this and thought of something I don't think has been mentioned .
the X-Bolt I have uses a rotary magazine that pretty much determines MAX cartridge length . my 7mm-08 X-Bolt magazine is about SAAMI spec .
I assume Tikka builds the 6.5 PRC on a short action...
