Hornady SST .452 300 grain. Bullet was shot at 50 yards into 10% ballistic gel. Impact speed was 1293 FPS.
I know TC has a bonded version ,blue tip
Is the hornady red tip a bonded bullet ?
Have you noticed (shot) any bullets with a thicker jacket? Wondering how they expand (perform) compared to a thinner.
Good to know. I will look at the cross section photos I have to see if the star tip has a thicker jacket. Thanks for the info.My goal with this project was to see how a few of my options would work at the slower speeds I'll likely encounter at long range impact. I did shoot the Fury Star Tip MZ 2 which did not do well on the test. I'm not sure if it was the design, the bonding or the jacket thickness but it did not open with two attempts.
I have had excellent results with these and the 250 sst from my T/C .50 cals.
