My buddies and myself have shot over 50 elk over the years using Partitions and Accubonds. We shot partitions before the Accubonds came out but once the Accubonds came out we switched over and like them better. Why? We have never recovered a Partition or an Accubond but our only complaint...
I am lucky to have great elk hunting practacally in my back yard. When I draw a tag in my home state I spend 5 times as much time scouting before the season as I do hunting.
If you live quite a distance from an area that you are going to hunt, do the math. Say you draw a elk tag here in New...
No link needed, it's another "Topic" in this Hunting Forum entitled, "Wyoming Moose and Antelope w/ Photo's"
I bumped it so it will be next to this topic.

It also depends on the terrain in which you are hunting, i.e. deep dark timber where you shots are close or shooting from one side of a canyon to another.
Over the years, I have shot elk both bulls and cows with an assortment of calibers including .338 WM, .325 WSM, .338-06, .300 Wea...
I'm not sure exactly how much meat I got off the moose. I have processed many, many elk over the years and have weighed several elk. A really big bull elk will get about 300 lbs. of meat (no bones) and this moose far surpassed that. I'm sure I had 450 to 500 lbs of pure meat.
I had two...
It will also depend on your rifle. I have a Remington Model 700 AWR chambered in .300 Weatherby Mag and it has a 1 in 12 twist. I cannot get it to shoot any 200 grain bullet with a decent group. But on the other hand, it shoots the heck out of 180 grain bullets.
I believe Weatherby Rifles...
Here is a photo of two side by side exit holes that were behind the shoulder of my moose in the previous post. The exit holes in the hide were about the size of a quarter. 180 grain Nolser Partitions, .300 Weatherby Mag. This is the damage done after traveling over 400 ranged yards! The...
The moose had a spread of 43 5/8", scored 304 4/8 SCI which should put him in the top 25 of SCI. Will also make B&C once he completes his 60 day drying period. WAY MORE than I had ever hoped for. It took 9 years of preference points to draw the moose tag so was probably my once in a lifetime...
Shortly before my Wyoming Moose & Antelope trip, I thought I might try to switch from my tried and true Partition handloads in my .300 to Nosler Accubonds. While the Partitions have worked well for me in the past I have had great success with the Accubonds in my .270 WSM taking a variety of...
Here is a photo of my recent moose adventure in Wyoming and my moose doing the Nosler nap! 180 grain Partition out of a Remington 700 AWR chambered in .300 Weatherby Mag. 3 complete pass thru's at a distance we won't get into so we won't start a debate, any one would have done the job but boy...
