No reason to go with the Partition. Your load will work just fine. I wouldn't worry about the bullet not opening, in fact I'd stay away from the shoulders to avoid wasting meat. If you had time to work up a new load, you might even try to load up the same bullet a couple hundred feet slower. It'd kill just as dead and be less apt to blow away a shoulder if you happen to hit one.

Good luck!
