The front core in all Partitions is a very soft lead alloy. It's not only softer than the lead alloy used in the rear core, but soft than the alloy used by just about any manufacturer of cup-and-core bullets.
This is why the front end of Partitions opens up so easily--and why it kills so well, despite the abudandance of hunters who think a Partition has "failed" when the front core is gone. The fragmenting does more interior damage, and that's exactly the way John Nosler designed it to work.
THANKS M D - I've read several of those same reports about N Ps failing because they seperated. It's hard to believe but just about has to be true, that many don't understand that IS the way they are DESIGNED. Maybe coming from you it'll carry a little more weight. (Pun intended)
