Like kmon1 said I am consistent with them for a reason. Just like your consistent with bergers for a reason. Here the question was hunting and why I am consistent. I wouldn't recommend them for target shooting and wonder why all the target bullets get recommendations for hunting(although I do like the new design of the ELDX and the new placement of the interlock ring as it will mimic a partition but I have not yet tried them).
You can take those partitions and put them anywhere, in the shoulder, heavy bone, through the ribs, nose to tail or tail to nose and they are going to perform, expand and penetrate. That is what they are made to do and they do it well, they are not the cheapest and they may not be the most accurate, but I have had zero problem achieving more than acceptable hunting level accuracy out of them.
Last year my wife shot a 165 pound buck with my 270 and 150 grain partition. The bullet hit and went through a cattle panel before it hit the deer, held its course hit the deer perfectly behind the shoulder where she was aiming. Bullet was found under the offside skin and the deer ran a pretty short distance and died. Would other bullets have done it? I don't know, but I have been using and trusting them for the past 15-20 years and it was just one more reason why I will continue to. Ive had many bullets come unglued when they hit a shoulder and fail to perform as intended and I have had many mono metal bullets fail to expand on light tissue behind the shoulders where no large bones were hit. I have killed a bunch of critters with partitions and have never had even the smallest inkling of a complaint with their on game performance.
