Screwbolts' 289g Hardcast Boolit
 
screwbolts, my mentor, sent these boolits quite awhile back. He say they are 289 grain water dropped, wheel weight, hard boolits. This morning, it just about penetrated the whole world. Range was 25 yard. Powder charge was 80g Blackhorn.










































The photo shows the 6 jugs, one extra, the boolit went through. The first 4 jugs exhibit tears, and shreds around the entrance, and exit holes. Extensive damage to the second jug shows in the photo. The first, and third jugs have large tears out the side. The last two jugs show small tears at the entrance, and exit holes. The last jug, an extra that was placed for insurance had the cap blown off. The boolit went through the yellow pages, through the residential white pages, and on into the business white pages where it finally stopped. It weighs 288.1 grain.

Hardcasts have been the hardest for me to stop with media. They tend to plow through everything.

I had to dig this .401 260gr out of a tree to recover it. It had already gone through jugs, wet and dry phone books.

Hardcast is right! I wonder if that bullet had a Philips screwdriver shaped nose on it like the Lehigh Extreme Penetrator if it would do the kind of internal damage the Lehigh is suppose to do for pennies on the dollar?

You know them bullets you packed for 2 hour, then stood in line forever to mail, then were shunned, .....they never showed. You didn't by any chance fabricate the whole story??

LMAO@ "Just about penetrated the whole world" I'll have to remember that one. Yep hard casts are some bad boy penetrators. Every now and again I'll water drop a few for my .45 LC to punch through hogs. They do a heck of a lot more damage than one would imagine a non expanding (really, if done right them suckers don't expand for much of nothing) but I make them into SWC's so that flat face smacking into the body creates a bigger pressure wave than one would think.

Looks like he must have spent another several hours running down that UPS truck and intercepting that package before it got to you! :popcorn::popcorn:

You really are a jerk about this - probably a jerk in real-life. I hope the package never arrives.
Please Lord. Let it be stolen or arrive on the wrong doorstep.

Methinks your prayer will be answered, because you never actually mailed it...quite a tale you fabricated. This is becoming humorous.
