The 338 250 gr PT is a penetrating power house.

That is an excellent test. I need to find some more media to test bullets in. Wanna try out some of my loads and see how they hold up. Be great to see pictures of your recovered bullets. Always good to see how various bullets fare through different media. Scotty
 
Cool Beans! :grin: That's a lot of bullet testing from a big whopper like a .338 Win mag...

You talking wet or dry newspaper?

The Failsafe, Partition and Grand Slam all had pretty good weight retention, as I'd expect. Thanks for posting your tests. JD338 and I are sort of nuts about bullet testing... :grin:
 
I am saving up my milk jugs to test out the 275gr Speer. Hopefully, weather permitting I will catch a few bullets from it. JD is betting 9 jugs, so I will put 11 up to make sure I catch it. I like to look and see how bullets respond to different media. Need to start saving newspapers and old womens magazines! Scotty

They are the Womens magazines and other homey, Hollyweird stuff my wife likes to read. I could probably make a shooting box 6ft long and 3ft deep if I stacked them all in there! Scotty

i was really impressed with the swifts as the mushrooms were the size of nickels.
 
Awesome testing str8meat! It seems like even the "worst" of the bullets still held up really well and would surely wreck an elks day. Thanks again for all of the testing. That was pretty cool. Scotty
 
This is similar results to the research I posted a couple of months ago using .308 180 grain bullets at different velocities. This testing shows the outstanding performance by the PT (of course) and the Swift. I see several others in the middle of the pack. The Game King did not do well in that other test either. I was surprised at the AccuBond I have heard a lot of good things about them here and on other forums.

Can't beat the top end stuff in any medium!!
