I finally shot my Steel target today for it’s first test, I was shooting my the Lyman Gould bullet (Solid Version) Thanks to 52bore for making me a Solid Pin, your work is AWESOME Rick!! She’s a shooter, and BAD dude on my 3/8 plate steel!! My powder charge was just 70 Grains of Swiss 3F, A wool OP wad, And lubed with Ed’s Blue, and my Bear grease mixture (All of My rifles LOVE this stuff! :yeah: )
This is the Dead End of an old abandoned Logging rd, i drive out and turn around, set my target up and drive out to 100 yards.
I shot 5 times, This 350 Grain Bullet puts a SERIOUS WALLOP on this big heavy 3/8 Steel Plate, My Freebie plate isn’t gonna last long! I would NEVER have thought this bullet would do this kind of Damage to 3/8 steel? Glad I didn’t have a bet on it, i would be paying up! What a FUN target to shoot! :yeah:
These were laying within a few feet of the Target in the rd, This 40-1 Alloy hits HARD, REALLY HARD! They are pretty much flattened out to about Nickel thickness
