[QUOTE="cabelasken, post: 2791391, member: 117774"] I once had a box of partitions that exploded on impact on two game animals, a mouflon ram and an axis buck. No parts of the bullets passed through, but the biggest pieces I could find were 4 to 5 grain chunks of copper and they were scattered throughout the body cavity. Apparently there was a manufacturing flaw with this lot number that was caught by Nosler but somehow I obtained a box of them. I also had an issue with some of the first Barnes bullets, and a call to their customer service confirmed that they had an issue with the olgive being inconsistent. This was about 25 years ago and they offered to replace all the bullets that I had of theirs, but I just used them as break in bullets. I must say both Nosler and Barnes have improved their machinery and quality control so that this never happens nowadays. Although seconds offer a bit of a discount for the volume shooter, after seeing and having issues in the past, I will respectfully pass in purchasing them. [/QUOTE]
