I should clarify - I don't use Partitions in every situation, only when I think I'll need deep penetration or to keep a bullet together. I use them for elk size critters, black bears, and deer when I'm using a cartridge capable of 3000 ft/sec at the muzzle and a deer may show up at less than 50 yards. I've shot more than a few deer with standard cup/core, Nosler BT and AB. I don't care for the mess. The only exception to this is Hornday IL. I shoot Horn IL at deer in 90+% of the time.
