I find these results and processes
REALLY interesting! In a previous post I may have appeared to be scrutinizing the process but understand the necessity for repeatable results. Bullet performance has always been my goal when designing and manufacturing muzzleloading bullets. We have "tinkered" with several medias from ballistic media, bottled water, sand and phone books to realize what works and what doesn't. I find myself learning a lot from Ron's work. While it does deviate some from our results, it drives me to wonder if it's velocity or media driven. Part of me wants to say, that the water slows that bullet down substantially causing it to mushroom less when it finally hits some "meaningful" media. Another part of me wants to think that maybe the reduced load may be driving the non-noteworthy mushroom (performance) down range. I'd be more than happy to donate a couple boxes toward more testing. Email me an address and I'll get them on the way. (
