338 Win Mag 225 grain Hornady SP-RP - 10/11/14
Well, I tried to capture this bullet yesterday and somehow it must've zigged off to the weeds as it penetrated the jugs. I found some pieces of jacket and core, but that was about it. I was sorta determined today to catch it and I did..
I ran this bullet over the same load I use for the 225 PT and BBC in my 338, which is Nosler brass, 71.5 grains of RL17 and CCI250's.
Anyhow, it made it through 4 jugs and was found under jug #5.

Bullet did pretty decent. I wasn't sure what to expect after yesterdays results, but it seems like it opens up decent and retains a decent amount of weight. Pretty decently sized frontal area as well. Haven't shot them for accuracy but they seem to shoot real well in a few other rifles that I know of.
