But we aren't talking about bullets as new as Corelokts .In 1948 John Nosler invented the Partition for the cure of the very problem of bullets that wouldn't hold up . Just because you weren't alive and hunting,shooting big game back then doesn't mean it didn't happen. I started shooting center fire rifles when I was 14 with my own hand loads pre-interlock Hornady 139 gr SP's. They came apart pretty easy. The improved Intetrlock was much less fragile.When I went to work up the loads for my 1st deer hunt I never gave it a 2nd thought and stepped up to 140 gr NPT's and that was just a7x57 .Going to the 7 mag proved the same all over .That was50 years ago and since then I've used a lot of cup and core bullets on a lot of game and I still never ever hold for a near shoulder shot ,I all ways try for a far houlder shot simply cause I want the vitals before I'll risk the bullet making thru heavy bones.
