Wow, terminal ballistics throws a curve! It sure got the job done, though!

I've always liked Nosler partitions... expensive for practice, but worth every penny on the hunt  |

I had a 150gr Partition do that exact thing on a cow elk I shot years ago with my 270. Double lung hit, she went 125 yards or so was all but didn't leave a blood trail, something that was very concerning at the time because what I thought was one of 5 or 6 elk bedded in the aspens was actually one of 150 elk that scattered everywhere at the shot. Hard to track a specific elk in the snow when her track mixed with the rest of the herd. I have always felt here in Colorado that a bullet that doesn't exit has failed, I know will argue with me, but here I want an edit hole everytime.

Wonder if Nosler will ever make partition handgun bullets again?

The proof is in the BBQ. A suggestion, try apple butter based sauce, less acidic, penetrates the meat better. Burp.

Hunted up some boar last week using my Dan Wesson 744 with an eight inch barrel and white insert front sight. The handload had a 250 grain Nosler partition over 23,5 grains of H-110 a Fed. 155M primer and RP case. Pretty accurate load in the DW. Was sitting next to a tree with the barrel rested on a short bi-pod. Four boar were feeding there way to me not knowing I was there. Waited till he was 15 or so yards and made a good lung shot and as he turned and ran I put another one in him just right of the tail. He ran a little and dropped and when I looked at him I could see the rear end of the partition sticking out of the hide. My 2nd shot traveled under the spine and stopped above the left shoulder but somewhere along the way, after expansion, it turned and the expanded copper petals stopped it under the hide with the base sticking out. The bullet only lost 3 grains weighing 247grs. The photos show the bullet as I found it...
