I don't think it will hold up until impact velocity is lower than 2700. Which in a 300 Bee is gonna be 350-400 yards. I think it would be great in an 06 but I don't understand why they would produce a big game bullet focused at the LR crowd that won't perform from muzzle on out.

Muzz,
Outta a 300 Bee approx 3000 fps jugs at 15 yards going to retry at 2700. It's like a grenade stuff goes everywhere. The lock they put in isn't large enough to keep the core in the jacket. In the pictures from Hornady you can see core jacket separation starting to occur at 2660. Your...
I'm overly impressed by this. I've decided to nick name this the "Boat Prop". Outta my G29 10 Auto at around 1125 with room to move up. 176.8gr retained for 98.2% .944"X1.114" expanded diameter and just wow!!!! Went 3 jugs and ended up 2 feet behind them in the snow.
This thing is flat out cool. It does a number on rabbits. Fired from a 35 Rem at approx 2000 fps.
62.8 for the 1st 58 for the 2nd 73.7 for the 3rd and went .640" all of these were stopped in the 2nd jug.
Well I finally shot it and I think I got some kinks to work out but it's a fun little rifle. And it shoots well. If only the nut did his job as well.
I'm seeing pressure at mid book loads and the fired cases that came with it had load data inside that was 2.3 gr below book min. I think what is...

They tried all that stuff double charges and the works. Only failures were before 100,000 on 1903's all because of heat treatment.

I've also seen factory Aguila 45ACP ammo so bad that one round hits target next is 6ft high and the following lands 10 ft in front of you. Just be aware that it can happen with any of them.
Well when I gave Chance his 35 Whelen we cleaned it all up and went to fire it using Rem factory rounds put one in click. He looked at me and I told him keep a hold of her. Waited about a minute jacked it out looked at it. Shook it put back in click. Waited pulled it. Tried another one same...
