In my Limited experience ,I don't consider Nosler Partitions a Premium bullet, I use them as a Standard, to compare other bullets to. I have killed elk with Remington corelokts so nothing special is required.
I don't get this line of thinking: I have done something this way therefore nothing special (here: premium bullet) is needed. Based upon your experience then but what is the sample size of that experience and what were the variables associated with the sample? All broadside shots at undisturbed animals grazing unaware of your presence 100 yards away? Or making tracks away from you through heavy timber? Across a canyon at 400 yards? Can you be more specific?
