[QUOTE="Albritton, post: 1569107, member: 108690"] First of all a partition bullet on thin skinned game will not not be as effective as a bullet that will have quicker expansion, partition bullets would be better suited for thick skinned large game where penetration and bullet weight retention is needed. Your Mulie shot with the SST is an example of using the right bullet for the game hunted, that’s why it “fell where it stood”. If you would have made a high shoulder shot on that Coues with those partitions you would have taken out both shoulders and you wouldn’t have had to make 3 more shots to kill him. Do you usually keep shooting till they quit twitching? But then again if you can shoot 4” groups on a running deer at 375 yds then you could just use the partitions to make head shots at 375 yds and expansion will not matter. 4” groups at 375 yds on a running deer is some great shooting and almost as impressive as my ability To quail hunt with my single shot .22. I Just wait for them to get 40 to 50 yards out after the dogs jump them then shoot them in the back of the head that way it doesn’t damage any meat. [/QUOTE]
