Shot a Nilgai with one 4 years quartering away behind shoulder. Bullet totally separated and hugged same side into left lung and left front of chest. We recovered him 2 miles away next morning. This was a thinning the herd hunt with 4 different guys including government guys who lined up the taking of the animals. Two of the others shot 300wm with 215's. They shot 4 animals not a one took more than a step.
I shot a year later a cow elk and the bullet pin holed her. Recovered her after 400 yards but to go from one extreme to the other no sir. Won't have it.
Since I've harvested multiple animals with the 215 and not one single flaw. I have friends with large ranches with several guides. Year to year they will all tell me they would rather a customer shoot a 30 cal or 338 cal with the 215 or a 250.
