I never caught a Partition from my 6mm days, but I have generally seen easier tracking jobs when bumping up to the 6.5mm-.30 cal offerings.

The 85 grain partitions left very small exit holes for me but yes the others generally used the cheapest factory loads on sale. They also lost a lot of feral hogs which I wouldn't spend my time trying to recover, wouldn't risk getting either my dog or myself snakebit over a hog. Blood trail or not crawling through "tunnels" in that shinnery knowing the Prairie rattler lived in there made for some nervous times. I usually used a 7x57 and it seemed to me a much better deer rifle in that situation than my 243.
