Default 325g Bloodline--50g Blackhorn

This morning the 50 caliber 325g Bloodline was shot using 50g of Blackhorn powder. The load consisted of the bullet, powder, W209 primer, and a short black sabot, doctored by cutting the petals off, used as a wad. The vent liner used today, had a 0.033" flash hole. Range was 25 yard to the carpet, plywood, 6 water jugs, and phone book.





























The photo show how the bullet blew right through the phone book leaving bits and pieces scattered. The attempt to find the bullet using the metal detector, was to no avail. Whenever a bullet blew right through everything in previous tests, it was found the bullet did not work. This morning the plywood with the carpet attached only landed about 6' in front of the horse. Yesterday, when 80g of powder was used, the carpet was blown off the plywood, and they landed about 30' out front of the horse.

Anybody who says this bullet isn't worth the price they get for them is way off base.

Terminal performance is everything when it comes to hunting.

Before someone says accuracy is more important. These bullets are accurate enough. They may not be the hot tip for target competition, but for hunting they can't be beat.
