From muzzle to bottles = 25 yard. Powder charge = 80g Blackhorn.

Bullet destroyed the first two bottles; blew open the third, and fourth bottles; holed the fifth bottle, and was caught by sixth bottle. Bullet in sixth bottle was 3 pieces; even so; the sixth bottle had a nice uniform hole on the front side.

Thanks for another awesome bullet test. Holy cow! That bullet hit with some authority didn't it. But it breakin up like that, I wouldn't consider a good thing.

 

[Harley469]

Thanks for the information. Based on your test I would not be purchasing that bullet.

 

[michiganmuzzy]

I like the potential that bullet has. Will there be a 50grn test?

 

[Mnt monkey]

I like it too I don't have a problem with breaking up when it's that big.

 

[Mnt monkey]

It just looks like the top quarter of the jacket peeled off really looks like most of the core is still there it would hurt

I’d suspect this bullet / lead was hard based on it coming apart.
Ron’s previous test with a pure lead (very malleable) did quite well at that velocity.

I agree it was harder,, 16 grain 17 grains loss isn't much almost looks like what broke off would act like some of those fragmenting solid copper snazzy bullets,, might have to retry that bullet ,,thanks for the test

It certainly looked like it would hit like a freight train - real stopping power & I'd agree, most of the core stayed together.

The bullet, and the two pieces penetrated the carpet, plywood, 25" + of water, 11 layers of plastic. Seems like about going through two deers?

One bullet was shot at paper to check aim. One bullet was shot at the bottles. No more bullets available.

 

[Mnt monkey]

Thanks again Ron I consider it very successful I'll get time soon I'll send you some more,, sure looks like a good mule, deer elk, rhino bullet to me

 

[ronlaughlin]

Holy cow! That bullet hit with some authority

It sure did. Lots, and lots of water sent air borne.

 

[ronlaughlin]

I'll send you some more

Not needed. Seems plenty of them bullets have been shot.

 

[Shorty]

I would not hesitate to use that bullet , great test , thx Ron

 

[snapbang]

If you cant kill a deer with that you should probably stay home.

 

[michiganmuzzy]

Did you paper patch it or sabot? No grease grooves so i was just wondering.

 

[ronlaughlin]

Green crush rib sabot worked good. Sabot flew all the way to the bottles, which did seem weird.

 

[LHR]

The green ones have thicker walls so a little more weight to them. I’ve always noticed they don’t flare as wide as the black and they always travel a bit further down range as well.

 

[ronlaughlin]

The green crushrib was picked up yesterday by the busted bottles. The other two picked up today from previous shooting . The two from today flew about half as far as the green one. The ribs don't show up much.

 

[LHR]

My green CR’s usually flare a bit more than that, but that’s exactly what I’m talking about.
