Found some phone books and decided to shoot some bullets into them and see what happens. No worries, I'm not implying a phone book is the same as an animal, just something to do. Anyway, I shot the 225 Accubond, 215 Gameking and 200 CT (Ballistic Silvertip) out of the 338-06 and the 185 TTSX, 210 Scirocco II and 200 SST out of the 338 Fed. I did not recover a 215 Gameking. They hit the phone books at 2600+ and did not expand. Rather, they left a .338" hole through 4 thick phone books and kept on going. The 225 AB (~2650) went through all four, but just barely. The 200 CT came apart and penetrated the least of all (including all 338 Fed bullets). For the 338 Fed, the 200 SST came apart and penetrated just a touch more than the 200 CT out of the -06. The 210 Scirocco II and the 185 TTSX came just short of penetrating all four. I started with the 338 Fed, so the -06 bullets had a bit easier time as the books started to get beat up. All in all, very impressed with the TTSX, Accubond and Scirocco. Since they were my go-to bullets anyway I'm pleased.
Recovered Weights:
225 AB (2650fps) - 188.4grs
200 CT (2790) - 102grs
210 SC II (2570) - 161.2grs
200 SST (unk fps, but guess 2590ish) - 72.6grs
185 TTSX (2750) - 183.8grs
