Could have been an anomaly.

One would expect it to at least hold together as well as the 208 Amax. At least I would.

Bullets do some strange things in these tests. Eg I did two separate wet newspaper tests with the same bullet, but used two different impact speeds to simulate close and longer range impacts. At the lower speed, the same bullet shed more weight and penetrated less, the opposite of what was expected.

This is why more testing is great for verifying results. It also explains a lot of incidents where bullets don't act the way you think they will on game.
