52Bore' 526 Grain Wheel Weight Conical
 

The bullet was cast, and provided by 52Bore. The same mold by Buffalo Arms as was used to cast the soft 542g pure lead bullet, was used to cast this hard wheel weight bullet.

The bullet was shot through the carpet plywood, and jugs out at 25 yard. Powder charge was 80g Blackhorn.














The bullet hit the front jug close to center, but as it traveled through the following jugs, it veered left. It exited the sixth jug, and went off to Eenar. The front two jugs have the least damage, which indicates the bullet didn't expand. The fifth, and sixth jug have the most damage because the bullet was nearing their edge. A search was conducted using a metal detector, and a long lost bullet from a previous test was found, but not this conical. Seems the bullet may have yawed, because it wasn't stabilized by the 1:28 twist of the rifle used.

That's a lot of bullet for 1:28 twist. Which bullet did you find on your way to Enar?
