Default Nosler Sporting Handgun 45 Caliber 250 Grain

This Sporting Handgun 45 caliber Nosler 250g bullet was sent by Scott to be tested. Range was 25 yard, and the powder charge was 80g Blackhorn.











The bullet sent the first jug flying, and flattened it.












This bullet was stopped in the third jug, after destroying the front jug. It weighs 213.5 Grain. Second jug is holed in and out. The last two jugs were undamaged, and will be used for the next test.

That did not do too bad for a very cheap bullet.

I resized a few of these today to .449. They went through the die very easily. My WAG is the core is fairly soft lead and the jacket is a softer copper alloy.
