The new Nosler BT bullets are a lot tougher than the first lots. .284 140's poke right through whitetails at 3450fps.

In contrast, the Partitions can't take a lot of velocity. At 3200 fps they grenade, even in the .284 160gr offerring. Here is a link to a graphic pic of a deer shot with the 160 Partition. What you are seeing is an entry hole and there was no exit. Partition

It goes against "Internet/Gun rag philosophy", but I'll stand behind real world testing. Find a bullet that shoots tight first, and then assess it's ability to do what you want it to out of your own gun.
