The partician is made by Nosler and the partician gold is made by Winchester/Nosler . Or Combined Technologies thus it is a improved design made by both companies ..

the partition gold uses a rear steel cup very much like the failsafe bullet.they are also available with or without molycoat in some calibers. as far as performance differences i couldn't say, but the original nosler has been proven to perform and i don't believe the partition gold would do any less the job.

Stick with the original Partition bullet.The Partition Gold does have the steel cup in the base as well as a thicker jacket up front.The result however,is a smaller front core which,coupled with the thicker jacket,does not expand as well.The overall length is slightly more due to the increase in copper and steel in the bullet,but I have heard this can cause problems with accuracy.I havn't tried them myself so I don't know firsthand,just what I've heard on the grapevine.....
