Default RE: Recovered Lead

I was back in the woods today with a chainsaw cutting out a deeper shooting lane. I then started finding more lead and such, but one that caught my eye was this one...



I am not sure it that is a Barnes or one of the other copper jacketed things I was shooting. With a weight of 193.8 and the Barnes being 250 grain I suspect one of them. Nice expansion with it. Depending one which way you measure it, that opened from a .452 to almost an inch and a half.

Also something else surprised me. I had been shooting Saber Tooth conicals and found the plastic base of them almost 30 yards past the current bullet trap. That means the plastic base travels over 80 yards... I would have thought they would kick off before that, but the accuracy was good with them. So I guess that is all right. I am going to send Harvester a email and ask them about my observations though.
