I used partitions, as I thought they were the best jacketed bullets available......until the Barnes X’s came out! My only complaints with the partitions, both relatively minor were.... they a little difficult to get the accuracy I was searching for. Also, on a close range, high velocity impact ....often the nose jacket would completely fold back at the partition around the bullet lower (below partition) making the remaining bullet marginally larger than the original bullet prior impact, reducing not only the remaining bullet diameter but only retaining approximately 60% to 70% of the original bullet weight!

The original Barnes X’s had some issues and had to go through some growing pains.....but, the new TTX’s, TTSX’s, and LRX’s are pretty darn difficult to beat. memtb
