I know I will get raked over the coals for this post but I need to know if anyone has had the same problem. I loaded up some 150 gr Partitions over 50 gr of RL19 in a 7x57 for an elk hunt. Did not get a shot at an elk but took them to the lease for wt hunt. Got a shot at small doe and she ran off with not a drop of blood to be found by 3 hunters looking. A week later again wt hunting in S. Ark, again a medium size doe was shot and she ran well over a hundred yds leaving only a drop of blood every 15 to 20 ft.. Is it possible that the thin skin 80 lb doe simply did not offer enough resistance for the partition to expand? The exit hole on 2nd doe was about the size of a dime. The shot was picture perfect as far placement.
I do know that I will not be using the partition for the small wt in my hunting areas again!
Thanks
