Partition vs BT for 6.5 JDJ

[Gary B.]

Question for you loaders of the single shot variety. I'm loading for an upcoming Mulie and antelope hunt. The caliber is the 6.5 JDJ. Muzzle velocity for either bullet will be about 2400 fps. Would the Partition or BT be better for up to 200-250 yd shots. Impact velocity will be approx. 2000-2100fps. Both bullets print 1" or better at 100 yds. Looking for thoughts. Thanks.

The 6.5JDJ's reputation was made with the 120gr. BT. Even though it is a little 'tougher' than it once was, it's still a good choice.
