I'm between the 165 grain partitions and ballistic tips. Shots will be pretty short I'd say 150 yards in. Most likely under 100. I like the partitions but this is the first time I'll be loading bullets for shots I expect to be so close. Anybody have a bad experience with the partitions at close range from an 06 or .308 (I'll be loading both)? Would Ballistic Tips open too fast? Any real life experience would be greatly appreciated.
