working velocity for .358 250 gr. Partition

[whiteeagle]

What is the minimum impact velocity recommended for the 250 gr. .358 Partition?

The bullet is giving good accuracy in a .350 Rem mag, and I'm thinking of using it on an upcoming woodland caribou/black bear hunt, but I'm a little concerned that, if the bullet was designed for somewhat higher (.358 Norma.,358 STW) velocities, it might not open up sufficiently.

Thanks.

The minimum impact for the .356-250gr Partition is 1800fps. Happy hunting.

Looks like your good out to 350 or so yards!

POP--

Thanks for the detail.

From what my outfitter says, most shots are likely to be at 100 or a little under, with nothing past 200, so things look pretty good.
