XTP--80 Grain Conditions
 







That's the 250g XTP after blasting through the carpet, plywood, and three jugs.















About 1/4 second after impact the jugs looked this way.














The XTP bounced off the fourth jug, and was found on the ground directly under the horse. The fourth, and fifth jug were undamaged, except for a slight mark in the label of the fourth jug where the XTP hit. The first, and second jug were shredded. The rifle was loaded with 80g Blackhorn, and the 250g XTP in a short black Harvester sabot.

Ron,
I hope you save all the 80grn Videos. Then when done you can post one thread with all the videos on that thread. Just an idea for convenience in the future to see your results.

Did you happen to weigh that slug to see how much mass it lost?

Three jugs, pretty impressive and the expansion looks real good. Was this at 25 yards again? Excellent pictures by the way.

Oops, forgot to write the range was 26 yard. The bullet weighs 220g now.

Lots of folks have good luck with reliable old XTP's. They just work.

Nice work Ron :D

Same here. Out in the middle of now where, the speeds are pretty good on the Satellite Dish finally, but they really restrict your usage. Use too much, or watch too many videos they turn you off. That's why their commercials of "watch streaming video on demand" or "watch Netflix" it just can't be done. You'd burn your month's supply in a few days.
