No experience with Partitions, they are 130.00/50 count where I live so reloading them is a no go. But Hot-cors are pretty dang good for standard cup and cor. I have never recovered one, always a pass through when shooting at ribs. Price was good when I bought them as well. .30/bullet vs 2.60/bullet lol.
you can't go wrong with a partition. Nosler designed it to get through a Moose shoulder with a 300 H&H.... 270 at the right range no further than 300 yards will do the trick.
