I sincerely doubt it. FAR more hunters use .30-caliber cartridges as all-around big game rounds than use .338 cartridges.

Plus, I found the same thing with "monolithic" bullets--or those that work in the same basic way, such as the Fail Safe. Killed a LOT of big game with them in the 1990s, before Barnes solved the accuracy problems with the original TSX with more consistent copper, and especially the grooved-shank TSX.
