Okay testing is done. I actually was able to take 2 shots due to all the paper that was left over.
Recovered bullets look like crap.
First recovered bullet weights 232.4 grains but is flat and fragment.
The other recovered bullet weighs 227 grains. This would be the second shot that almost went through the bucket.
I think its actually an improvement over the Copper series in terms of penetration.
Both bullets were very close to being pushed up against the back side of the bucket, the second one actually left a big dent in the back of the plastic bucket.
The wound channel through the first 4" of paper was impressive as hell. I recorded this on video and i could put my fist into it with room to spare around the sides.
I've read a lot about people having no blood trails due to tiny holes from the bullet not expanding so i think this is maybe why they did the larger HP so that first hole was huge.
The news paper and water certainly is a much harder test on the bullet than an actual deer so you know what that means this hunting trip LOL.
I'll give the 250 - 100gr BH209 a shot if i draw a deer tag and see how it actually performs on game.
Working on the video so be patient!
