[QUOTE="Playtimefun, post: 1594197, member: 103742"] I have never had an issue with the performance of Nosler Partitions. I have a ton of 200 grainers loaded up for my 300 Win Mag and 300 Weatherby. 180s in the Win Mag as well. And now that you mention I can’t remember even why I stopped using them and went to the Barnes more. The only bad thing about the partitions is that they are not a “super accurate” bullet. They are a hunting bullet first and accuracy second. But with the accuracy I got out of them, no deer or moose ever complained. I don’t think I have shot an elk with the partitions. The only bullet I will not use any more are the Nosler Ballistic tips. The bullets never opened up and we found the 1 whitetail after a lot of searching and the second 3 hours after the coyotes had in both casss it was a pencil hole through the animal with no expansion which is apparently an oddity. The other one I won’t use is Berger’s. great for targets and if I was hunting for trophies sure... because you hit an animal and it’s like a mine field with shrapnel. But you also destroy half the meat on the animal and I am a meat hunter first and foremost. As a young hunter I got warned not to shot this big 52” moose we had seen. Did I listen??? No and you had to chew the hamburger 25 times before you swallowed. I kept the horns for years and then finally gave them to someone. And it was a 165 grain Hornady interlok that worked perfectly out of my first 300 Win Mag. That gun shot 5 shot 1/2” groups with those interloks and with 4350 powder. [/QUOTE]
