Partition vs solid base in 30 cal

Welcome to the forum. Both the SB and the PT are excellent bullets for WT deer. I have used the 165 gr SB in a 308 Win and the 140 gr SB from a 6.5 Wby RPM to crush MI late season deer. As Fotis mentioned, the 140 gr SB from the 6.5 Wby RPM at 3050 fps absolutely hammered a couple of TX hogs, DRT.
I’ve also taken many WT deer with PTs in several calibers and bullet weights. They crush shoulders with ease and always exit. I’ve even taken a couple of 200 lb bucks with the 338 RUM and the 250 gr PT. Internal trauma was extensive and both bucks were DRT.

Seems like a good bullet for everything from small whitetail to big game . Soft up front solid rear to push through

this is a perfect description of the Partition bullet .

I've said many times , if I could only use one bullet for hunting , the Partition would be it . I'd never feel like I was missing out on anything , by using it exclusively . accuracy is easy to find , and they work great for hunting .

Im gonna try some in the 150gr in my 308.

A Partition will do the job for sure. I dropped my first bull nilgai with a 140 Partition out of a 7 Mag at 200 yards head on. The Partition hit square in the chest just below the beard, it kept trucking along lengthwise of that tough critter. It dropped so fast and I'll never forget it because most nilgai I have shot don't drop that quick except for neck shots. They are tough brutes.
