Well, I seriously doubt the design parameters of the partition are lost on those of us that prefer other bullets, at least not on myself. I shot my first elk with a screw machine type partition back in 1973, used them on a LOT of game through 1991. Satisfied but never impressed would be how I'd describe my feelings about them. On several occasions I was downright unimpressed! What seems to be lost on others here is the fact that several of us don't worship at the alter of the NP! To each his own.
