BTW the Partition Gold has been dead for a long, long time. You're out of the loop by a fair piece
No. For some reason it turned to very small pieces of both lead and jacket. I imagine that probably hit a rib going in and expanded too fast. But I don't see a problem, since it destroyed the moose's lungs. If I well remember, Federal loaded the 250-grain NOS HE around 2800fps, and a 225-grain TBBC HE around 2900fps. I used the 250-grainer to kill the moose, and still have a few left of both loads.
Most people favor the factory .338 loads with NOS 250-grainers loaded around 2650 or so fps. I have settled with the 225-grain 3-Shock (now TTSX), not because I don't like the Partition, but because it's a tough bullet.
