I worked up a load for my 8x57 using the Hornady 170gr SST and I wanted to see how it would expand so I conducted a jug test. I recovered the bullet and weighed and measured the bullet post recovery. Load used was as follows.
Hornady 170gr SST
54grs Winchester 748 ball powder
Remington 9 1/2 large rifle primer
Winchester Brass
Average Velocity is 2728 fps based on a total of 5 shots.
Bullet weighed 101.5gr
Bullet measured .732
