My primary complaints with the Partition are excessive meat damage compared to a TTSX, higher recovery rate, and higher cost.
They kill fine generally, but too often they make just one hole. The only monos I have seen recovered were very light and shot into a lot of very large bone.
I have never seen an AB exit.
And I've had just the opposite results. As I write this, I'm looking at the only Partition I've ever recovered out of a couple dozen. It was a 35 caliber 250 grain and it went lengthwise of a caribou, front to back, stopping under the hide in the right hip. Similarly the only X or TSX bullet I ever recovered was from an elk shot lengthwise. However the X and TSX bullets have all produced way more meat damage and bloodshot than the Partitions. I haven't used as many, eight to be exact, in a 7x57, 308, 300 H&H, and 400 Whelen but everyone has produced substantial bloodshot and meat damage. I've never tried the TTSX but would expect similar results.
With the exception of the one noted, the Partitions have left good exit wounds, just like the X and TSX but with far less meat damage, in my experience.
