Used the 200 and 180 Partitions on quite a few animals, not from a 30/06 but from various 300 magnums. The 200 digs deeper but there are no flies on the 180 at any distance.It will exit sometimes and other times stay inside a heavy animal. It will break both shoulders of a bull elk from what I have seen. Seems it's velocity dependent.
My experience is similar to John's in terms of seeing the 200 gr penetration. One bull elk was hit back forward of the flank, into the back ribs, and the bullet smashed the upper leg bones on the opposite side....one of Elmer's "raking shots". I did not recover that bullet.
