It took a lot of years for the bullets to catch up to the .340 Weatherby. With a handful of exceptions, the bullets just couldn't withstand the impact speeds and everyone shot at least 250 grainers if they weren't Partitions back in the day. As cliche as it sounds, the TSX/TTSX series are a real game changer for these high energy rounds. I have just one recovered TTSX from a raghorn somewhere and it went through a branch I didn't see at 387 yards, and its not as pretty as yours. Mangled would be the word I'd use. But because I'm a rifle geek too, I consider the recovered rounds from game as much of a trophy as the animal itself.
