Fury 300g Captured

[ronlaughlin]

The bottles were fronted by carpet adhered to plywood, and a phone book was a last resort placed behind the bottles. Charge was 50 grain Blackhorn. Distance between rifle, and bottles is 25 yard. Bullet went through every bottle; was caught by the phone book.

Well...Crap!

Man that’s pretty you could almost shoot it again. That would save a lot of money.

What distance would that bullet be at when doing 1260fps with a full hunting load?

What distance would that bullet be at when doing 1260fps with a full hunting load?

Using a BC of .260
120grs VOLUME of BH209...... Actual velocity from my 45cal is 2143fps, 10' from the muzzle.

ESTIMATED

Thanks Ron.
Pretty much explains why the gel couldn’t hold them. You had a superior back up catchment plan.

A 300 Grain bullet shot with 100 grains of BH 209 will leave the muzzle somwhere around 1800 FPS. If the bullet has a BC of 0.25 ( average for a spire point ) it will be moving at ~1328 FPS at 150 yards.

More powder, more result

Ok, in looking at the chart. That bullet should expand at reasonable distances with a hunting load. What Ron tested would be out to 375 yds with a heavy hunting load.

I'd like to see another test with more powder.

Thanks for posting your test results. Was the really light 50g load & 25yds a scaled-down simulation of a longer range MV & KE effects on its performance? So was this test done to where the bullet was traveling within the parameters of what the bullet was designed to be shot at? This is the kind of stuff to present to Dennis & ask the whats & whys as to these results in this bullet. I've said it before, I like the heck outta Dennis & am shooting 2 types & 3 weights of Fury bullets myself in 2 diff ML's. Thankfully, that bullet is not one of them. Unless I could be shown that it is something I'm doin or not doin to cause that bullet to not perform, I wouldn't want it in my guns nor would I recommend it to anyone. Another good learning experience. Thanks for sharing it. I hope we hear from Dennis to shed some light on this.
