I have to agree with the media misinterpreting fragmenting bullets as exploding. Actually, they get more ratings that way. My cxp2's work in this manner. With the nossler partition the back half of the bullet will hit the front of the bullet causing it to fragment on impact. I have never had a pass through but have found numerous bullet fragments upon butchering. Personally I think it is a far more humane way to kill large game. They die alot faster and run much shorter distances. In fact I shot a 415 lb bear with my 270 and he didn't even take a step or make a sound. I just wish the media wouldn't make gun owners look like complete a$$holes just so they can make a buck.
