Your making the assumption that partition failed because you didn't find it. I highly doubt it indeed failed. If indeed you want to go by the "will it kill a animal" criteria there isn't an animal in NA I couldn't kill and easily with a nosler 180 BT.
No. You are assuming that the partition failed. I have never said such thing. In fact, I have said several times that the Partition killed the moose pretty fast, so it did its job. All I said, it that perhaps it expanded too fast, maybe when it hit a rib (don't really know), and because it was too fast (don't really know). All I know is that it blew to pieces inside the moose, even the jacket.
Of course you can kill any animal with a 180-grain Partition. Hunters have been and will continue killing all sorts of game with 30-caliber bullets of all kinds. You can also kill a moose with a BB gun if you try hard enough (true case. It happened in Anchorage, AK).
