348 Winchester 71 and the 50-110 WCF 1886 Winchester, The Ultimate Bushmaster

Looking at hand loaded bullet penetration and expansion of bullets out of the 50-110 cartridge and the 348 Winchester in packed clay.  The 250 grain 348 Barnes bullet and the 535 grain Woodleigh 500 Jeffrey bullet loaded to 2100 fps in the 50-110 penetrated 10″, the 450 grain Barnes bullet at 2375 fps penetrated 9″.  What surprised me is this 300 grain bullet at 2700 fps penetrated 8.5″, The 550 grain cast bullet penetrated 15.5″.
