[QUOTE="lloydsmale, post: 854818, member: 41442"] How are they not performing. granted they may not blow the nose off but if they held together mushroomed there doing everything youd expect out of a bullet. Expansion at velocitys that are probably borderline slow. If to slow to expand id expect it pensil through like a solid and in that case you sure wouldnt be recovering bullets all the time. What i think your seeing isnt that the partition is a poor long range bullet its that the guys using them are shooting them in calibers like the 243, 308, 270, 06 ect that arent the best with any bullet at killing deer past 400 yards. Ive shot a pile of deer with partitions in most every chambering and cant remember one incidence that i lost a deer because of it and id have to say if your butchering those deer the bullets must have worked. What do you consider good long range performance. personly id rather have something like a bt or sierra way out there but as a compromise bullet the partition is still the premium bullet there all measured by. It holds together up close and expands in my experience much better way out there then a tsx does. I may not be a profesional meat processor but for the last 12 years ive butchered between 50 and a 100 whitetail and LOTS of them shot with partitions. So i think if there was some glaring deficientcy in them i would have seen it. With barnes bullets you get two sides. One that love them and one that hates them. I fall in the middle of that as ive seen them work and seem them fail miserably but seldom do you ever here of guys hating partitions. They JUST WORK. [/QUOTE]
