[QUOTE="bobs, post: 676807, member: 41744"] I have taken several deer, both whitetails and mulies, with Nosler Partitions. Ranges from 30-250 yards. Most were broadside lung shots, a couple were quartering towards me and I hit them on the point of the shoulder. One was quartering away. I have never recovered a Nosler Partition. None were DRT, though all showed obvious signs of having been hit (humping up, leaping, or in one case, dropping then getting back up and running off). The broadside lung shots traveled the farthest - 50 to 120 yds. Quartering shots on point of shoulder broke shoulder bone, sprayed the lung cavity with bone fragments & lead and exited the off side just behind the last rib. Massive internal damage. Traveled aprox 30-50 yds. On all broadside lung shots the lungs were jellied. Sometimes the heart too. All had relatively small exit holes but ALL left a heavy blood trail, starting with a spray of blood & tissue on the off side from the bullet exit. Then there would be a gap - where there were just a few drops here & there - till chest cavity filled with blood up to the entry & exit wounds, then very heavy blood trail - sprayed on tree trunks, etc. I am now experimenting with TTSX, Amax & Accubonds to see if I can get better accuracy and flatter trajectory, but I doubt I will get any better terminal performance.
