Default Nosler MZ sand test

I did this around 12-30-2013. They were a son of a gun to load in a Traditions Strikerfire and that rifle has a .502" bore! Pedals also ripped off the sabots. They'd shoot hole 1 at 50 yards though with 100gr Blackhorn209.


300gr Nosler MZ with 100 grains blackhorn209 out of my Strikerfire at 50 yards. Awesome mushroom and the copper jacket IS a true jacket is is very thick and peels back like a barnes.

Recovery weight is so so. Sand is tougher than flesh but gives you a decent idea.

143 grains main body weight, add in the fragments I found around the bullet and it totals 220 grains.

The copper jacket though is very impressive, especially for the cheap price of the bullets.
