Bearit, I don't know in terms of .Ks, but I do know it's paper thin. I've retreaved(sp?) a few JHPs and JSPs from the berm and examined the peeled back jackets. I could bend the jacketing in my fingers.

Most of the jacket's are very thin with .025 being the standard on .300 grainer's.Barnes is alittle different being all copper.The good thing is Hawk bullet's where you can order jacket thickness.There standard is .025 for the 45-70 and also for the .454.I don't understand.If you had a .035 Jacket to withstand and penetrate as the 45-70 can do,it would be a good load.A 300 with a .035 jacket would do or kill anything on this continent.
Just my opinion.
