I loaded up some 105 Match Burners for my .243 win Rem 700 ADL to rezero everything after a paint job. Groups were good, right around .5" for 3 shots @ 100yds. I had 1 round left and I had one milk jug and a pair of 2 gallon jugs filled up with water to see how it would do against something other than paper. I set the jugs up and found a level spot 90yds away and let fly.
The milk just was destroyed, the 1st 2 gallon jug was split and the bullet bounced off the back of the 2nd 2 gallon jug. Total penetration was around 20" with good expansion and weight retained was 48.6 grs. There was some lead a copper in the 2nd jug that I didn't scrape out. Muzzle velocity is 2900fps - 46.2grs H1000. I know it's a test of one but I sure would not hesitate to loose one of these on deer after seeing this.
I suck at taking pictures
I can not separate core and jacket. Max diameter is .56"
