[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1258552, member: 77249"] Never seen a Nosler Partition react that way. Is it possible the bullet hit a twig before it hit the deer? Or when the bullet hit the rib it tumbled instead of straight penetration. I have killed 2 bear and several deer with 270 Win. and 130 and 150 gr. Nosler Partitions. Recovered 1 130 gr. from a pine tree 30 ft. behind the bear. Killed a moose with 338 WM and 225 gr. Nosler partition. A called in bull, The bullet penetrated 8 inches of shoulder,, broke 2 ribs going in the chest, through chest broke a rib going out and into an Ontario beaver pond. 2 180 gr. Nosler partitions, 2 Caribou, Both DRT. Full Penetration. With a 300 WSM at 220 yds. I put a 180 gr. Nosler Partition into a 7X7 bull Elk, broadside, Full penetration. The 2nd shot went just in front of the right hind leg and was recovered from the left shoulder. After about 4 ft. penetration. Perfect mushroom. The base has a knot on it where the back core was trying to go forward faster than the mushroomed front. The only bullet I have recovered from any animal. [/QUOTE]
