[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1560390, member: 13833"] Same as ELDM! The above post proves that the copper in the partition is of value for penetration(true) but as stated, doesn't tell the whole story on flesh. I'm not saying that the partition isn't a good, proven bullet, because it is. Flesh vs end grain wood penetration is vastly different, however. What we're looking for is enough penetration to pass through shoulder bone, if necessary, and enough expansion and fragmention to cause tissue damage. Because you mentioned a .308, that moves the scale downward a little towards an easier expanding bullet than you would need for a 300 rum, for example. That's why, IMO, you will get faster killing power in a 308 with a little lighter jacket and still expand at 500 yards or more. [/QUOTE]
