325 grain Bloodline--80g Powder
|
Needs more powder.

Ron, Do you think it loses some oomph from leakage around the brass bullet. It doesn't seem to expand to create a tight seal in the barrel. I bet that would shoot well saboted in a 54.

Not good at all. That bullet should perform with 50grns of BH209. That was gonna be my Elk bullet for Colorado ML season. Now I'm concerned that's for sure. I will be using a veggie wad under the bullet. I'll send Ron some veggie wads and hopefully he can re do the test.

I wouldn't be concerned. There's lot more juices/flesh in elk to make bullets expand.
|
More than 6 jugs of water?
|
thicker juices, muscle, tissue, bone. NOOOOO problem!
|
Jugs of water expands the other make bullets just fine.
I think the bullet fit was too loose. |
I don't remember if Ron has a chronograph but I would think that would be a useful tool in seeing whether or not the bullet shot sabotless with that powder load has the needed velocity to shear those petals off.
