I had lost the links to the pictures when Imagestation changed so I re-attached all the pictues using Photobucket instead. A picture is worth a thousand words and I thought is was a shame to loose the pictures on this thread. Unfortunately I couldn't just edit the pictures so I had to add a post.

Test media was wet newspaper.
Impact velocity: approx 2500fps for the 250gr and 2650fps for the 225gr.

Side by side view of the exit hole after approximately 6" of penetration. First one is Speer GS vs Barnes TSX, second one is Hornady IL vs Speer HC.
