Default RE: .243 Win. questions

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.
