Love Nosler Partitions just for the simple reason that they've never done that to me, whether it was a 30-06, 243 or 300 Savage. In one side with small hole, and out the other side with a slightly larger hole. Legs no problem, chest no problem.. Had some factory non-premiums blow up on me over the years like that, can't rightfully tell you what kind they were now since I've been using NP's so long.

But, others swear by other kinds of bullets and I don't have reason to believe they don't work. My confidence level just climbs with NP's, so I stick with them.

And +1 to boltman.. I don't use Partitions for practicing or plinking, just for sighting in for hunting and hunting. Targets don't need Partitions.
