I am not trying to hijack Ron's bullet tests because I completely respect the tests that he does. I am in covid quarantine and wanted to try something.
So anyway here is the setup:
¼ inch plywood with a piece of cardboard taped on the front.
Front water jug was filled with bread dough (thought the dough might represent internal organs better than water)
Next 4 jugs were filled with water
Wood backstop on the back
Gun:
NEF Huntsman 50cal
Load:
240gr xtp mag
Harvester crush rib sabot
80gr Bh209
Distance approximately 100yds
Bullet passed through all of the jugs, bounced off of the backstop and was found approximately 6ft in front of the first jug.
I have taken many deer with this bullet at ranges under 50yds but, I think I will pass on any 100yd shots at deer with this load, as there was absolutely no expansion. The bullet looks the same as it did when I loaded it.
