Thanks everyone! I need to get out and get some target cameras set up. I'd be really interested to see what happens on impact. All my impacts at a mile have mostly fragmented, but left behind the flower shaped jacket.
LRRPF, I'd be really curious as to your reasoning about the higher capacity cartridges. At North Springs today, I was able to keep 4 consecutive rounds on steel with my 270wsm before pulling a called shot high right. Minus the pulled 5th shot, the remaining 4 measured 16.5". Mind you this isn't a factory gun, but it is still the factory barrel that's been threaded. I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's a combination of poor triggers, non-bedded action or floated barrel, but as much or more than anything else it's the shooter developing a flinch from the higher powered cartridge
