So after reading Ron's extensive bullet testing thread which was amazing (Thanks Ron!), I decided to kinda mimic his test, but with a different trap, with the bullet I cast and hunt with. I used half of my normal weighed charge of T7 (72/2 = 36 grs). Shot was 25 yds into my bullet sand trap. One piece of cardboard, then nothing but sand. Sand is loose, not compacted. I do not know velocity???
Bullet = LEE 310 gr .430 Cast (12/1 Mix) Knurled (Bullet drops at 309 grs with my mix)
Sabot = Harvester Crush Rib (Green)
Gun = TC Omega 50 Cal
Powder = T7 (36 grs Weighed)
Primer = Fed Premium 209MZ
Retrieved bullet is completely mushroomed, with no stalk so to speak. Bullet started out at 309 grs, and ended up at 307.3 grs.
Thoughts?
