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?

44-cal 280 grain..... 50 for $12

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??

:confused0024:

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.

Aha, it is to be delivered tomorrow. Which bullet you want tested first? Thursday morning will find me testing one of them i imagine.

And a "tale" that turned out to be true :busted:

No desire to see them tested, nor read the test reports anymore. I was in Mio Michigan area over the weekend and tested all the bullet-names I sent you. Then I spent much of the day Monday at the Bald Mountain range. Settled on two bullets that I never sent you....... 200 gr. SSTs in 50/40 and 300 gr. XTP in 44cal.

I am good-to-go for Opening Day. You can throw the entire 2 LB box in the recycle bin of your community -- or give them away, if you desire.

Well, perhaps other forum members will be interested in the test results of the bullets you sent.

Fedex or UPS?

:p

He said he shipped it UPS, but the tacking number is Fedex!!

The really funny part is the package went through CO then to CA then back through the same town in CO. Fedex is more messed up than i remembered. MI to OH first?...What are they thinking?

There not thinkin

UPS is just as bad. I live in Southern IL, had something shipped from just outside of Chicago, took 8 days! Tracked it to Indiana, Ohio, Atlanta, back to Ohio, Back to Indiana, back to CHICAGO then to here! Sent an Email off to UPS asking them if the hamsters running the place there were tired.

I was shipping free bullets to more than one member that day. Both PS and FedEx were involved. Had my signals crossed when posting that quote above.

It's really crazy that I have become at the forefront of this messageboard, for doing nothing more than being a giving person, one that wants to help both the bullet tester and newbies that come to this board. Multiple threads on varying subjects have centered around me -- versus that of the actual thread sentence topic of discussion. In situations like this, I regret being a giving person. But how did I know that sometimes the recipients turn out to be the :devil: .....and the devil often has many disciples.
:party::party::party::party::party::party:

Starting recent bullet-testing threads here on projectiles that cannot even be found on google.com - or purchased in a sporting goods or gun store is a good practice (according to the tester). But belittling posters here that offer to help by sending the belittler commonly found bullets that 99.9% of ML members found at one time or another inside retail stores, is such a terrible idea. OK-sure.

Go blow your smoke somewhere else Ron, but please not in my direction. I do not subscribe to any bullet-testing devil, or ask of his aid in ML rifle matters. I made a mistake two Saturdays ago and did not initially see the costume you wear. You partake in a pick & choose gospel that I will never follow, based on Clique Club memberships. So please don't subscribe to my gospels anymore and that includes all of your followers/disciples here.

Much rather talk this sport as an independent, versus joining any 5% Clique Club that recenetly has begun to chase away some good posters.... off to ther messageboards on the internet.

Way to go Clique Club Boyz.... take a bow. Good job driving away members here. But guess what?.... I'm not going anywhere, for as long as I'm active in this wonderful sport of muzzleloaders.

Just checked your tracking #. The package is on the truck for delivery, so it will be delivered today. Right now, the plan is to test two of your bullets tomorrow morning. Don't have many chores that would interfere, so it should happen if the weather is OK.

:arms::arms::arms::arms::arms::arms::arms::arms::a rms::arms:

Seriously Triple Se7en, I suggest you get some help, I've seen this kind of thing before and it needs to be taken very seriously. Get the help you need.

Not sure why your blaming Ron for your problems. You posted wrong information. Nobody to blame but yourself. You also called him a name showing more disrespect. As far as members cliques on the board your the ring leader!! So quit blaming others for your faults.

Sounds like someone is off their meds
