[QUOTE="JTB, post: 1466938, member: 97196"] My experience with partitions has been just opposite. My, then, young son and I used the 270 150gr partitions for two deer seasons and we stopped using them due to the extensive damage they delivered. We have had a 140gr 6.5 burger VLD make a nickle sized hole through the heart and similar exit wound and we have had them seemingly explode internally, depending on the velocity and resistance they encounter. I have also had a 140gr 270 Accubond pass through a deer going 1650 fps with only a 1/4 of the tip expanding leaving a difficult to find exit wound. It was laying on some rocks where the deer dropped immediately. Same bullet removed a couple of ribs on exit going 2300 fps. Bullets behave differently depending on the cercumstances they are delivered. What does this have to do with the new Sierra game changers? They will work great until they don’t, just like the ELD-X and other quality hunting bullets, depending largely on our individual expectation of what “great” is. The real question for me is how accurately will my rifle shoot them knowing sierra normally delivers a good product. For some reason all my 6.5 rifles will shoot the 6.5 143 ELD-Xs accurately. Could not get the 30 cal 212 ELD-Xs to shoot in my 300 Win mag for anything. More options are better [/QUOTE]
