Powerbelt VS railroad lumber = WOW!
Just got inside to see how well my .54 flintlock would shoot a 348 grain all Lead powerbelt.
10 grains 4f goex 80 grains fffg triple 7 I found out the fun way that i am shooting 12" low @ 100 yards with these bullets. I'd say these are an excellent elk bullet! It entered 2" into the railroad timber before the timber broke and i found this bullet mashed in there. The expansion is amazing. Bullet weighs 1.3oz. |

That is some amazing expansion in a railroad timber. I do not think an elk would have a chance if that went through heart and lungs.. even if there was not complete penetration of them.

:D:D upon closer inspection, There are 2 bullets stuck together! One appears to be a hornady great plains bullet that exploded and weighs 0.5 oz. This WAS a 410 grain great plains bullet.
I just weighed the powerbelt that i shot and recovered today and it weighs in at 0.7oz, the exact same weight as a non fired powerbelt. What are the odds of the same bullet hitting dead center of another? lol. I pulled the 2 apart when i saw a really fine line and was shocked. |
