I have seen and heard stories of partitions not causing very much damage to deer. Especially small deer. After seeing it a few times, I decided to keep partitions for my moose and elk, which i can attest to works great on moose.

I love gamekings and bullistic tips on deer. I know they are going to expand. I know its going to cause aweful damage.

I believe Mossyoak33 on here shot a deer with partitions with a 25-06 and it ran well over 100 yards and after skinning, didn't do much damage. Went right between ribs and never hit anything solid.

Just an opinion.
