Hope this is clearer, M. (Lateral).
I have most of this tech stuff up in Google Cloud, so rescanned the original.
Grubby, tea-stained, and well-thumbed so authentic. It might interest others.
Also , this time from the cloud parts of the 1985 Norma Reloading Guide with their own bullets for reloading.
Sinistal,
Excellent, many thanks.

The last .pdf of the Norma ‘Loading Data’ is the same as my era copy and lists the 232gr bullet as p/n 69305 - that’s the Vulkan.
I tested the 232gr Vulkan and 232gr Oryx side by side on dry telephone books which is a tough test. The vulkan was in better shape than the oryx. The oryx had more weight but was more mangled and seemed softer. I can't remember how they did on my ballistic moose which was designed by me to simulate a shoulder shot on a bull moose. It consisted of a well soaked 2" telephone book (shoulder muscle), 2 sheets of 3/4 ply (bone), about 18" of well soaked telephone books (tougher than lung) and a the same ply/telephone book on the other side. A 286gr Partition was picture perfect lodged against the second piece of ply on the far side. IMHO for BIG game it's probably the way to go although I only ever shot muntjac with it!

A.K.A. a Thomson Local Directory?
No a real one, a really big one - which went miles - probably one of the longest muntjac runs after a heart shot I've known

They can do that. @Kalahari of this parish shot a good muntjac back. Slightly quartering, took top of heart off and broke offside shoulder. He shot it with a 165gr Geco from a 7x64 at 40-50 yds. You'd have thought game over. Nope. Thing went miles. Piddling blood in open hand sized blobs every few feet, surprised it had that much in it.No a real one, a really big one - which went miles - probably one of the longest muntjac runs after a heart shot I've known
Apparently the evo green also has a steel cup underneath the jacket.
