RE: recovered bullets
"Anybody got any recovered 250 or 300g SW or Hornady SSTs? Lets take a look at them? To start the discussion, please look at this thread in PDF format:"
Take a look at theSST i recovered from a deceased hog. It is posted on this threadalong with the photos of lots of bullets that were fired into lots of different kinds of non-living media.That bulletwas fired from a laser measured distance of 190 yards. Take a look at the 240 grain, .44 caliber XTP thati recovered from the body of the second deer that it killed. It was fired atabout 130 yards. A deer or hog is not gelatin. The tests of bullets fired into gelatin, sand, wet newspapers and wet clay arenot indicative of what a bullet does when it hits a pig or deer.
For some reason you have a big problem with SST bullets. How many head of game have you shot with SST bullets? SST and XTP bullets have worked well for me.So far thisyear i have killed 14 hogs with SST and XTP bullets. Not one of them went over 10 yards.
I will say it again, lots of folks have trouble with bullets because they do not put them in the right place.

Chap, what powder and how much of it for the PBE and the bonded shockwave? Also, were they recovered from deer? I like the way they look. Not sure if they are considered overexpanded or not but they sure look good to me. Thanks again for all your input, Greg

RE: recovered bullets
I agree that you can not tell much with out that info. If I was to guess I would say they were shot into gellatin with a smokeless powder gun [there are at least 3 now] and a max load of smokeless. I say this because of the way the unbonded 250 blew, I never had one do that but I know it only takes a little more velocity than the bullet can stand,a 150 gr load of 777 might do it. Lee

I think they are a very good bullet.

However I chose the PBE since I felt it mushroomed better at closer ranges based on what I have seen andread.Thanks. Chap Gleason
