Here is the pictures of my second test with this bullet. I used IMR4895 instead of H4895 and reduced the amount. This was a top end load but was about 200fps slower as I wanted to see if the bullet would retain more weight in the jug test. Took two tries but the result is 8grs more retained wt that was captured. Couple of fragments blew out the back of the jug in which the man bullet was laying. Few fragments were in the previous jug.
Last test was 119.3grs retained at 2814 fps. Today's test was 127.7grs retained at 2609 fps. Very little difference. Will work on deer. Hope to poke one this fall to see the effect. Dan.
