Finally got this test done after two trips to the range. I thought it would be a one and done but not to be. First day tried at 100yds thinking this would be average hunting distance. Shot twice but bullets kept rising going through 2-3 jugs then over top of the others. Ran out of jugs.
Day 2 placed jugs at 50yds. 1st shot went through 3 jugs out the top. 2nd shot caught bullet in 4th jug with shrapnel in 3rd jug. This bullet doesn't hold together as well as the Speer 220gr. I did test it as well. It landed in 4th jug with shrapnel in 5th. Go figure . This is only one test. I ran it hard. Load was 58.0grs H4895 Fed 215 primer in RP case. Muzzle velocity was 2814 fps. Shot in a Remington 700 CDL 24 in barrel. Pictures show the set up, group and results. Hopefully I'll get to try it out on deer someday. Dan.
