338 Lapua Long Distance Ballistics!!

I took two important things away from this video:

1: 32% of the original weight of a 338 Lapua bullet is still as much or more than many rifles' original projectile weight

and,

2: You are not safe behind a block wall, at any reasonable distance, from a 338 Lapua.

On the flip side, it doesn't seem like those copper solids expand so well-probably not great for hunting applications but good for punching holes through things that are very hard.
