How much penitration could one expect at 600 fps I know it well go through two one gallon water filled jugs. Has any one tried it to the max. | ||

The RCBS bullet is a good one. I can't say about 600 gps, but load it to about 1,100 gps and you won't find very many animals the will stop it. If ignorance is bliss; there are some blissful sonofaguns around here. We know who you are, so no reason to point yourselves out. | |||

The heavy boolits do not shoot slow, you are so far off what the twist needs it is funny. I shoot the Lee 310 gr, the 320 gr LBT with 21.5 gr of 296 and a 330 gr WLN with 21 gr of 296 and velocity is around 1316 fps for all. I use nothing but a standard primer, the Fed 150. These are not max but where the boolit has the right stability and accuracy. Don't do this with a S&W, Ruger type only. I would guess the boolit will do 36" of wet phone books since the 265 gr RD boolit did 33". You will need a lot of water jugs. | |||

Going back through some old notes, I got 33" of penetration in wet newsprint using a 300 grain truncated cone bullet. At another seminar, a 330 grain Garrett load got 31" of penetration.

I don't understand the fascination with 600 fps. Could someone please explain this to me? If ignorance is bliss; there are some blissful sonofaguns around here. We know who you are, so no reason to point yourselves out. | |||

The fascination with 600 FPS is indeed a mystery  _____________________________________________________ A 9mm may expand to a larger diameter, but a 45 ain't going to shrink Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened. - Winston Churchill | |||
