Happily, the second attempt to catch this bullet was a success. Once again the target was carpet, shelf, and water jugs. Range was 26 yard. Powder charge was 80g Blackhorn.











The bullet seemed to work different this second try. Makes me wonder if the tip got stuck in the first bullet or some such. It shredded the first jug, shredded, and flattened the second jug, and was found in the fourth jug. The fifth jug will be carried forward to the next test. The aluminum tip was found on the ground to the left, and in front of the horse. The bullet now weighs 203.1 grain.

That's the same bullet returned to you by the Eenarites. They tossed it back last night, via one of the Perseid meteors that showered our planet after midnight. It's categorized as a primate bullet on their planet..... in other words, garbage to them.

What do you think the BC is with that and 89grs of BH?

Those smokeless guys send them a long ways....................Accurately.

That bullet is NOT intended for sabot use. Get the regular 275gr Match Hunter instead and push it as fast as you can.

I honestly can't see how he got the thing to shoot in a sabot! Dang thing looks like a ballistic missile

Its made for sabotless use in 45cal rifles. My non smoker will shoot that bad boy over 2600fps without cracking a sweat. The higher end builds are pushing them 3000fps.

What load is pushing a 270grn bullet 3000fps?

78gr H4198

Hankins 45cal on a Rem 700 CF or 40X action. LRMP module ignition.

I imagine a Swinglock 45 can do about the same, That load make around 45Kpsi IIRC

I'm not familiar with H4198, cause IMR4198 won't touch that.

I wont shoot them that hot because its murder on vent liners. You would be lucky to get 30 shots in a standard Savage type plug. The LRMP module plug with a tungsten bushing is good for hundreds of shots with that load though.
