[QUOTE="projp, post: 697672, member: 9992"] Shot a lot of deer and a few elk with both bullets. I used the partition during the 70's, 80's, 90's and whatever the current variation of the X bullet was being manufactured from the mid 90's to present. Opinions? The partition is a great bullet and only left me unhappy at extreme velocities and close ranges, ( but in the day it was the best available). For the majority of what I did they preformed adequately. I switched to the X bullet and have never looked back. I have never had a bullet break up. The few slugs I have recovered all looked like fodder for magazine ads. I did have one lose a petal on an elk at close range. I haven't experienced the complaint that they penciled through. I think all have been one shot kills with the animal dropping within 20 yards. The original X bullets fouled and were a bitch in a lot of guns to get to group. The coated XLC's were fun while they lasted, The MRX's were OK but pricy, the triple shocks solved the fouling problem, and currently I am into the TTSX or LRX. If you like to hand load and tinker you will love the Barnes since they change the design every couple of years, (usually for the better), and you get to work up new loads. [/QUOTE]
