Your opinion and your entitled to it, no arguments there. My first hand experience is the .338 WM and 225 PPSN, loaded them to over recommended velocity and had one blow up on the shoulder of a wet red stag at about 50 yards, minimal penetration and a nasty wound. Used them in a 270 similar results on goats (these were loaded faster too). Loaded them to recommended velocity after that and no problems. I have shot just maybe a few buffalo with my .404 with RNSN and they are dead set awesome up to what I load to (2400fps). I will stand by what I said "load to recommended velocities". There might be the odd projectile in Woodleigh's range which you can push a bit quicker, but from my experience and that of mates who shoot a bloody hell of a lot too, don't push them too fast!!
