The hills have finally dried some, and it is now possible to get around up there without sliding around in the mud. It seemed a good day to try out a couple of bullets by shooting them into a row of juice jugs backed by phone book.








The rifle was a Triumph topped with a 4x scope. The first bullet tried was the 270g 44 caliber Gold Dot in a crushed rib sabot pushed by 105g BH209, which was ignited by a Winchester W209 primer. A camera was set up before the shot, and it produced this video.

The bullet went through 3 jugs and was found laying on the bottom of the fourth.

Next a 290g TEZ was tried using the same set up, however the factory supplied sabot was used. Here is the the video of that shot. The TEZ went through 4 jugs, and went off to the right cutting the 5th jug, and missing the 6th, and then stuck itself into the first phone book.

The Gold Dot ended up weighing 268.1g, and the TEZ ended up weighing 287.3g. Following are pictures of the two bullet.
