Lehigh Spear -- Another Look

[ronlaughlin]

Grouse45 provided these 247 grain bullets. The distance between rifle, and horse was 25 yard. The powder charge was 80 grain Blackhorn. The bullet speed at the front of the horse was clocked at 1568 fps .

The bullet was caught by the fifth jug. The first two jugs were toast. The third jug had a dent, maybe made by a petal. The third, and fourth jugs were holed. There was a petal in what was left of the second jug, and also a petal was on the ground right by the second jug. The sixth (last) jug was undamaged.

Looks good. And SL post the pics of game taken at longer range...that appear to have worked well. :yeah:

Now Grouse needs to do some long range shooting and see how they do
