[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 719517, member: 13833"] I have killed close to 25 bulls over the years with a 6.5 most of which were shot with a 140 nosler partition. The reason you get 58% "everytime" is that the front lead core weighs 42% of the total bullet weight. The front expands and fragments at "most" hunting velocities and comes completly free of the back section leaving the jacket peeled back to near the base with the rear section intact. My experience is identical with yours! The bullet will either exit with a quarter sized hole or be lying under the hide. They do a good amount of tissue damage with the fragmentation/ or expansion, of the front core and then drive on through leaving a nice long wound channel. IMO, the partition is still one of the best, and definitely most consistent, of any bullet made. The only reason it isn't used as much today is the fact that there are SOOOOO many other options, and also, hunters get hung up on the highest b.c. even though 90 some % of all game is killed under 400 or 500 hundred yards....Rich [/QUOTE]
