Bonded 225g 40 caliber Fury Bullet

This 40 caliber 225 grain FURY bullet was provided by Omega45.













The distance between the rifle, and horse was 25 yard. The powder load was 80 grain Blackhorn.













The bullet destroyed the front jug, did even more damage to the second jug (blew it in half), blew up the third jug, and was caught by the fourth jug. It now weighs 199.7 grain.

The two Fury bullets you tested can't have the same construction. This one looks good for muzzleloaders.

That's a purty bullet there. Are you planning a 50gr test?

I'm with you on this one, Muley. I've got to believe the 45 275 gn Furys that were sent to Ron for testing must be the regular hard lead version, not the soft lead muzzleloader one. The expansion on this 40 cal bullet is what I would expect from a soft lead bullet with a soft copper jacket.

I’d use that bullet, or at least try it. Looking forward to the 50 grain test.

Would love to.try that one in my Super 45 XR! What is the velocity of that 80 grain Blackhorn charge? I am finding that 40 calibers punch WAY above their weight. Soft jacket + soft lead= chest soup...

No more bullets

Was this bullet shot out of a .50 caliber rifle or a .45 caliber rifle?
Thanks!

What you think? Maybe 1650 fps?

Rifle is a 45 caliber.

Ron what are your thoughts on that bullet in a 1-28 twist barrel?

Shoots good out of my 1 in 28

That looks and sounds like perfect deer bullet performance. Got another bag of 50 on their way.

So you have shot the bullets from the 1:28 twist out a ways? My only experience is at 25 yard. On paper, the bullet holes look perfectly round is about all i know, which isn't much.

Here we cannot use bullets less than 44 caliber during a muzzle loader season.

I've shot them at 100 and 200 yards out of my CVA Optima V2 and so far it is bullet it likes best.

1680 fps. Ooh! I am getting 1800 fps with a 200 grain 40 cal XTP using 70 grains of Swiss 3f Holy black. My Super 45 (1-20) has a quick barrel.
That bullet would do well for shots out there a ways.
