Saxman, my jaw in on the floor! If thats what you want to do, that is perfectly fine with me. I'll start building a sand trap tomorrow for my 100 yard range so i can get you all kinds of info on how that bullet will act with powder charges. This is awesome of you and i cant even express how much i appreciate this.

I'll make sure i put this bullet through pure hell to make sure you'll get the max performance from this bullet.

I'll see what i have and possibly build two bullet traps, one with sand and the other box that i can either put news paper or phone books into.

Maybe layer the front with a strip of tire to act as muscle/hide and then a 2x6 to act as bone and a few phone books to completely stop the bullet.

I am looking forward to this big time! I'll run to town and pick up a few tins of caps.

Frontier Gander, can't remember where I heard this, but instead of a2 x 6, an inch thick piece of either ash or poplar have have very similar strength to most bones. Might be worth trying that for more accurate results.

Those would be hard to find in my state. I would have to order it. Right now i just set up my target box with a total of 6 2x6's the entire length of the front of the box and put 2 of them in front of eachother and then piled my sand behind it.

Once it stops raining i am going out wit the mountain stalker and 90g PS and the 245 AT.

Just finished testing those 195g at's with 80g pyrodex select. Im not using them for hunting!
