baldhunter,
Among other animals taken with the 200-grain .338 Ballistic Tip/Ballistic Silvertip (they are the same bullet with different colors) lengthwise through a 450-pound bull gemsbok, which have 1" thick hide on the shoulders and heavy, tough bones. The cartridge was the .338 Winchester Magnum, and the muzzle velocity around 2950 fps. The bull was standing quartering toward me at 150-175 yards, and the bullet not only broke the near shoulder but the spine, ending up under the hide of the opposite ham, retaining a little over 60% of its weight. Yes, they are pretty tough bullets....
