[QUOTE="Guy M, post: 211434, member: 8622"] [IMG]http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k129/GuyMiner/hunting%20photos/equipment/IMG_0020.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k129/GuyMiner/hunting%20photos/equipment/IMG_0023.jpg[/IMG] Not long-range high velocity bullets, but the only bullets I've got photos of after testing. Thought they'd be an interesting addition to the subject. Both were fired from my .45/70 Marlin 1895 lever action into water-filled milk jugs at 20 yards. The bullet on the left is the bonded 350 grain Swift A-Frame. MV was 2046 fps. Retained weight was 345 grains and it expanded to .710" dia. It was recovered in the 7th jug. The bullet on the right is the 350 grain Hornady FNSP. MV was about 2086 fps. Retained weight was 296 grains and it measured .846" dia. It was recovered in the 6th jug. The water-filled milk jugs worked really well, and it was easy to recover the bullets. Of course the test can't show us a wound track, nor does it simulate bone or hide. I do however believe it's pretty interesting. Will be doing more of these tests as time permits. Regards, Guy [/QUOTE]
