NOSLER wants to see your success

This one is from a few years back but I just found this thread.
This cow was taken with a .308 shooting handloaded 180grn Nosler Partitions.
A small herd of cows surprised us in the woods by crossing in front of us at a trot about 40 yards ahead. I took a snap shot on this big cow that stopped to look at us. The bullet took out one of her shoulders. When I quartered her, I found the remains of the bullet (shown in the 2nd picture) lodged against the hide on the backside. It looks to me like the Partition behaved exactly as designed. It went all the way through the shoulder and nearly through the other side, retaining almost 137 grains of its original 180 grain mass. The front portion of lead nearly disintegrated, leaving a small "bubble" of lead that you can see perched on top of the base that remained undisturbed.
