First, a thank you to those whose sacrifice allows me to be happy!







Art sent me some bullets so i could have more fun. The few i weighed today were about 499g.









Went to the hills and took the bullets with. It was about 45 degrees at 4700', and windy. The mountaineer just now has a new scope; it wasn't sighted in for any bullet, so it was a natural choice to use for shooting Art' bullets. Loaded the rifle with 85g BH209, Art' bullet & wad, and W209 primer. Three shots were taken at about 22 yard, and then it was out to 100 yard. Three three shot groups were made with scope adjustments in between. The shots were made as fast as the powder could be measured, and the gun loaded.












It seemed, in spite of my shakiness, the bullet worked good. This led me to set up 2 milk jugs, and a fabric softener jug filled with water. They were backed up by a couple of phone books taped together. The rifle was taken out to 100 yard, and a shot at the water jugs made.











The Video



The bullet was found inside the fabric softener jug. The jug has a dent where the bullet was bounced back into the jug by the phone book stack. The phone book stack was sent rolling by the bullet. Pages of the phone book were ripped inward about one inch even though the bullet never exited the last jug.














The bullet now weighs 496g.
