fredj338They have a very thick jacket & expansion is minimal. Good penetration though.

308SakoDitto, and I might add quite accurate. I acquired some in the mid 1970's and still have about 60, waiting for the right shooting opportunity!
By the way, try a magnet on the jacket!

N E 450 No2I have killed quite a few deer with the 240 Norma SP out of a Ruger Deerstalker, and quite a bit of small game with them out of a Ruger Super Blackhawk and a 6.5" S&W Mod 29.
They killed good, never recovered one, and were very accurate.
As Fred stated they are not a soft bullet.
