Here are a few bullets that were shot into water jugs yesterday while down at Woodycreek's range. Joel, Brian, Brian's buddy and myself spent from 1030L to 2015L on the range and had a blast. Anyhow, first up was the 264WM with the 140gr PT.
It went through 4 jugs and stopped in the 5th. Pretty impressive bullet and these jugs were set up at 20 yards from the muzzle.
It retained 93.5gr's of weight. Very good performance and I think it was a fairly torturous test for any bullet.
Here is the 7mm 160gr AB. Same as the 264WM for penetration. Stopped in the 5th jug and retained 98gr's.
Lastly, this is just a 35 Whelen bullet we found in the dirt beyond our target. It retained 177.5gr's of weight. Overall, this bullet seems to just hold up and perform through every single test I have done with it. Very high level of confidence in that PT.
I know there was some talk on another topic/post about PT's and man, I just can't find fault with them, ever. People saying they don't expand or leave small exit holes must have not looked at the innards of the game. I can see why they would leave a smalled exit hole, as they have probably shed the frontal core, but oh man, they would have done some serious work by theat point. Same for the AB's, although in my tests, they seem to lose a little more weight, they are still a serious bullet capable of some excellent big game work. Scotty
