I shot 5 bullets from my New 338 into the jugs a few days ago. I was in a hurry and didn't get every detail that I would have liked to, but here is a summary.
I shot:
225 Hornady interlock @ 2660
225 Hornady SST @ estimated 2660
225 Hornady interBond @ estimated 2660
180 Nosler AccuBond @ Estimated 3000fps
250 Hornady match HPBT @ estimated 2600
First, the 250 Hornady HPBT was not recovered. It completely obliterated 4 jugs but did not penetrate the 5th. ?? but shrapnel was found all over the table.
All the others were recovered in the 5th jug except the interlock.. It made it into the 6th jug.
#1 = 180 AccuBond - recovered weight 125.9 70% weight retained, found in the 5th jug
#2 = 225 SST - recovered weight 133.4 59% weight retained, found in the 5th jug
#3 = 225 InterBond - recovered weight 189.7 84.3% weight retained, found in the 5th jug
#4 = 225 interlock - recovered weight 149.6 66.5 % weight retained, Found in the 6th jug
SST was the only one with core separation
