Look for that thread.

Bfaucett hit the nail on the head. Didn't see his link. Go to it, same article.

Nice work grizz!

Rotational speed..........

Makes liitle or NO difference. This was tested thoroughly in Handloader magazine a couple of years back in an all 30 caliber bullets test. No difference!

Pop,

I read that when the Failsafe was developed the testing and development turned out wrong because they used reduced loads instead of full power loads. I got this info second hand and have never seen a report from Olin.

Grizz, Thanks for the posting, I was very glade to see the jacket and core remaining together. It would be interesting to see what something hard between jugs 1 and 2 would do. (something like bone).
This is obviously an improvement it bonding the jackets and that I welcome. Good job Grizz, thanks for the info.

I will still use partitions, but,,,,,

That's just the way I do it,,,,,,

I shoot the 165 IB in my 300 Win mag. I get 1/2 inch groups with 76.5 gr R22 (velocity should be around 3050, but I havent been able to chrono them). I was considering doing the same type of testing you have done to determine how touhg these bullets were. Thanks for posting your results.
