There is no doubt that those heavy bullets really drive deep. I think it's a dandy load for things that are really big and really close. However I don't see it as an all around load that would have the same function from 50 yards to 350 yards.

If you're loading for a specific application of something huge at closer ranges, that would be a hard combination to beat. Not so good for cross canyon shots in windy conditions, at 300 yards though. In Most places we never know what will be around the next bush, or across that canyon in Africa.

I would be very interested in the results and the test media and distance this was done at. Curious if the results were from short range, or from 250 yards? Those 220's are slow from the /06 and drop velocity fast. I doubt that the 220 partition will even be close to the penetration of a 165TSX at 250 yards.
