Impressive penetration for a 50gr load.
Personally, im glad Lehigh is doing more with copper lately. |

Thanks for the testing Ron. If the bullet fails at 50grn of BH209 in your testing my testing is over. I wont use the bullet hunting at all. Ill be receiving tips for these bullets and ill also send you some more with tips in them and do the same test. Once the tips come i run both with tips and without thru the chrono to calculate BC of bullet.

It will be interesting to see if the tip affects the fracturing.
|
Since the bullet fractured to that degree at only 50gr of BH209 I would be real curious of 100-120 gr loads performance.
|
I think 50gr at 25 yards would just about equal 80-90gr performance at 100. Just a rough guestimate.
|
Do you think the base would stay intact at higher velocities?
|
That base would stay intact at MUCH higher velocities. It's solid copper. I'm sure it could withstand higher velocities than you could load any BP load up to. Probably smokeless rigs too.

99% sure it will and in most cases it will pass thru... |
