My vote goes to the 95 or 100 Nosler partitions as they will give you more penetration in those less than perfect shots... At least that's been my experience..
Exactly. I have shot multiple deer with the 95 grain Partition and have yet to see any problems with the bullet performance. In doing penetration tests, I have found that the 95 grain Nosler Partition shot from a .243 will penetrate on a par with 180 grain Remington Corelokt load fired from a 30/06. Standard bullets fired from a .243 have about half the penetration. I have yet to test bonded bullets, but look forward to giving them a whirl.
