Has anyone used this bullet on anything bigger than deer? If so, how did it penetrate? 338 Federal will drive it to 3,000 fps. Seems like a perfect antelope to elk round if it will penetrate. BC is listed at .340 but sectional density is low at .200. I know the TSX has reputation for penetrating deep for all their bullets so maybe it would overcome the low SD.

I loaded some in my buddys 338 mag all I will say its a killer.He shot a good sized mule deer at 300 yards.Hit the buck on the point of the shoulder and I found the bullet in the opposite hind quarter when we boned it out perfect mush room.It will kill elk.
