[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 1689215, member: 108965"] Partitions work great when they hit hard muscle or bone, I've had a few on them pencil through when no bone was hit. The Coues on my avatar took 3 of them to the boiler room, the third one hit a rib and then it went done, 2 of those just penciled through the lungs. And I've had 2 other occasions when they did not expand as expected, did not lose an animal but took another shot to put them down. The hard reality is that there is not ONE bullet to handle it all, you are either too close and it blows up or too far for expansion or did not hit bone to expand or it did not leave an exit wound to trail or the core separated or too much blood shot meat and the list goes on and on. There are some that can solve most issues but not all of them, they vary by cartridge, speed and range and again the list goes on. Luckily here we can debate and learn from each other based on our own experiences and hope for the best, however, nothing is more important that proper shot placement, nothing. Again, just my $0.02 [/QUOTE]
