Default Ed' 465 Grain Boolit

A box of Ed' boolit arrived here this afternoon, and with hurricane type winds forecast for tomorrow, it seemed prudent to try one out this afternoon.












The range was 25 yard. Powder charge was 80g Blackhorn













The following photo shows the jugs in the order they were before the shot, and the way they looked after the shot. The first two jugs were totally shredded. The third jug had a hole in, and a hole out. The fourth jug held the boolit. Watching the video, one sees the second jug fly up and away, high in the sky, then come back into view, landing on the ground.












The 45 caliber boolit now weighs 458.6 grain, and measures one inch shy across the widest portion of the mushroom, just so barely less than an inch.

I gots me a box of the NoExcuses .451 460s. I do like the big 451s better than the 50cals.

Ed may not see a deer for several years. Not after enlisting that fired lead bullet as public information on video. Deer and elk aren't stupid, you know! Look to your left <<<<<<
There's a deer right there, hot-footing it out of Dodge.

Ed is an artist. Those bullets of his are as good as any I've ever seen. They are what I call "match quality".

I agree. And the two deer I shot with them last season also agree. They said "those bullets are to die for". (Both dropped on the spot.)
