Here is what the 250 Sierra looks like shot into jugs. Went through 6 jugs and was found on the ground. It retained about 196.2 grains, so I think it did very well. Very impressive as it is probably moving around 2000-2100 out of my 444 Marlin. Anyhow, here are the pictures.

I re-ran this test...

Using Scotty's Gun, and rounds he loaded but I got slightly different results. I ONLY got 5 jugs and it retained 217.0 grains. It must have been the hard water here. :lol:

OH! forgot to mention, the frontal diameter is .837 !! Wow
 
Definitely spreading the frontal aspect of that bullet! Still, quite a smack down with that load.
 
Man, it seems consistent, that is for sure!

That would make a heckuva good hole in a buck or a bear.. Hopefully Dano can slip one into a SC deer for us shortly.

Don't you mean through?
 
What would she do at 1500 fps I wonder. Like smaking a deer at 200 more or less.
 
44 mag pistol.... 25 gr of H110 pending on barrel length

C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.
