Berger 200.20x hybrid dissect picture

[Wrench]

My bullets showed up so I sliced a couple open on my mill.....they are all similar to this.

Jacket at the nose is .035" thick.

Lead is .345" +/- from the tip.

That looks like the secret sauce right there!
There was a lot of talk about these last fall, anyone kill anything with them?

I’m curious of the terminal ballistics on these as well. Whitetail to elk sized game!

I don't remember 100% so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the 200.20X the bullet that's supposed to be the same as the 215gr Berger just in a 200gr package or is that a different bullet I'm thinking of?

If that is the case, those Berger 215's have proven to be a killing machine and if those 200.20X are nothing more than a 15gr lighter version of the same, that'd be good enough for me to feel confident using them on game.

They're damn close to the 215. I don't have any 215's loose to sacrifice or I'd have milled one of them too.

I'm thinking a meplat uniformer and the 200 should make for an epic killer.

They are different but get lumped together because they have similar form factors and the 200.20x is sleeker like the 215 compared to the original 200 hybrid. The 215 has a little longer nose, boat tail, and void in the nose.

Killed a 3×3 bull elk with one last year. Shot at 30 yards quartering to me. I found the jacket under the hide on the opposing ham, the bullet penetrated almost the full length of the elk after braking his front shoulder. Shot out of a 300 WSM going 2940 fps.
