No, tho I can't statistically prove that. I've never been able to recover one. I do know that 2400 fps mv they will travel thru over 4' of brown bear. Completely pulverising the upper front leg bone shattering the shoulder. Make a big hole all the way thru and keep right on sailing off into the blue. I wouldn't say they were better than those you listed. But they aren't any worse. At least not the ones I've used.


Phil Shoemaker : "I went to a .30-06 on a fine old Mauser action. That worked successfully for a few years until a wounded, vindictive brown bear taught me that precise bullet placement is not always possible in thick alders, at spitting distances and when time is measured in split seconds. Lucky to come out of that lesson alive, I decided to look for a more suitable rifle."

I don’t have any experience with the .416 cal bullets but theier .458 405gr JSP bullets are some of the best I have ever used in the 45/70. They are both accurate and extremely tough.
