I must add here that John Nosler invented the Partition for his 300 H&H Mag. The Partition has been upgraded ten times since it first came out. It was and still is an excellent if not the best choice for all big game hunting. I like the Barnes X bullet as well and use it often if my guns will shoot them well. Across the board the Partition has bee the most accurate bullet I have ever used next to the Ballistic tip. Nosler does not recommend the ballistic tip for elk and moose except in the biggest calibers in thier heaviest weight. I also shoot some Bonded Bear Claws from time to time. In my opinion any good bullet with good shot placement will do the job well. Like I said before as well, I would not hesitate to use the Hornady Interlock on any game anywhere in the world.
