Default 380 Grain Lead 45 caliber Hollow Point

52Bore made the mold, cast the bullet of pure lead, and mailed the bullet. It is designed for 50 caliber; perhaps larger rifles.













The bullet was shot into carpet plywood, and water jugs at 26 yard. The load was 80g Blackhorn; a long black Harvester sabot was used.





















The front jug was blown 20' offs to the side; the second jug was blown 12' off to the side. The bullet bounced off the fourth jug, and ended up on the ground about 6' away.











The bullet weighs 367.4 grain. The mushroom is 1 5/32" diameter at the widest.
