Chart shows 52bore' hunting load. At 300 yard, the bullet is traveling at 966 fps, with 984 ftlb energy. Yesterday morning at 25 yard i clocked the bullet at 973 fps, and when found after smucking jugs, it looked like.............













What a pretty mushroom 'eh? Plenty fine expansion there. The following screen shot shows the front two jugs still in the air, still in the air about 2/3 second after impact. The hydraulic shock not only put them jugs in the air, it also flew the carpet/plywood high in the air, and a way out 35 feet.











It should be quite obvious to anyone, any deer hit properly out near 300 yard, with this load/bullet will be killed.
