That is surprising. I was considering buying the 215 and 225 Sierra and using whichever shot best. I've had good luck with Sierras running them in 26-2800 ft/sec velocity range. I shot a couple deer last year with the 180 Sierra Prohunter from my 308. Recovered 1 bullet - 141 gr/78% retention after penetrating about 2 feet of deer (head-on shot). I could like that same result in a 338-06 on elk.
