Re; My post of October 21st, I shot a large (55") kudu a few years ago with a 225 grain NP out of a .338 at 200 yards. Bullet placement was correct. The bullet basically turned itself inside out and there was very little left when we recovered it. The base portion was indistinguishable. It took a second shot to finish it off. Yes, the animal went down when hit. But the recovered bullet left me unimpressed with it's overall integrity. Again, a great cat bullet, but not my first choice in general for the larger ungulates. YMMV.
