Lapua Mega Bullets? Update

[Sweet 6.5]

Hi

Anybody out there that used these before?

Below is the picture of the 160gr Hornady I used on the blue wildebeest. The bullet broke some ribs
going in and going out. It stopped in the opposite shoulder and this was what was left of the bullet.

I would have liked the bullet to stay in one piece although it did do the job good. I bought some 155gr Mega
bullets and would like to know if anybody used them before and how did they perform?

Cheers
Sweet

I think I am in love!!
I loaded some of these Mega's more than two weeks ago and only
had chance to get to the range yesterday. I used the same load that I use with 160gr
Hornady.
Well the speed went up from 2350 fps (Horandy) to 2460 fps! No pressure - I think it might
have gone down a bit!
  And I had to do my wet paper test! Well it out penetrated the the Hornady by one wet book and
half a dry one and still retained 80% of the weight.
I need to get my friend and his .308 closer for a re-match! - and book a hunt to properly test them.

Cheers
