[QUOTE="COBHEAD, post: 1498334, member: 46355"] In 2013 I shot this buck pictured at 300 yards with 300RUM 180gr Nosler Partition. Slightly quartering away. Shot for offside shoulder. Buck Mule kicked like a heart shot reaction. Had NO blood, NO Hair, NO Nothing. Searched for 2 days with still nothing. Morning of day 3 found him alone, limping and I was able to kill him. Inspection found that the original shot impacted 3 ribs behind shoulder mid level. Deflected off of rib without breaking it and only cutting the skin for 3" toward shoulder, exited, the enter rear of shoulder cutting open the shoulder for 10" about 1" deep and wide. The wound was sered and no blood down the leg. I was sharing this story with a fella and before I could tell him the ammo used, He injected NOSLER PARTITION. He went to tell me of a failure his buddy had of the bullet fragmenting in flight and peppering the Deer. I called Joe at Nosler to see what may have happened, to no avail. I heard 2 weeks ago that Nosler is no longer going to produce NP. I now shoot Remington Premier Ultra Bonded Core Lokt and Federal Trophy Copper. I will NEVER shoot NP again. [/QUOTE]
