Anyone sectioned some of these projectiles? I'd be interested to see how thick the steel jacket is.
Just the other day I was sorting out a big bunch of RWS and DWM 9.3x74R factory loads. The RWS solids really leapt for the magnet, which didn't surprise me. What did surprise me was that the copper jacketed soft points went for the magnet as well. None of the DWM stuff had steel in them.
When I get a chance I'll pull a couple and show what they are made of.




Here is a sectioned RWS 400gr .423" solid. Good reinforced nose with thinner side walls that would conform easily to the bore. Found one in the rear hip socket of a buffalo after penetrating from the brisket, slightly squashed sides resulting from the squeeze into large heavy the ball and socket joint.
