How, exactly, did the 225 grain .338" fail? If it did not expand, I can't see any way at all that bullet didn't zip through like an FMJ without it being a severe squib load or the equivalent at extremely long range. If it expanded and stopped, then the same velocity issue is the only way I can see that happening.

Also, define "good shot"? A broadside shoulder shot just doesn't make sense with that little penetration (see above). Now, if it was a raking shot through the "rear shoulder" forward and the bullet stopped after that much penetration, then that's a different story.

Something just doesn't make sense.
