Would like to get some of the posters.

Check this study out.

Great info on different types of bullets performance at different velocitys.

Shows clearly that if a bullet is too slow or too fast then maximum penetration will not result.

Except with x bullets or fail safes where at high velocity the petals may peel off.

You could cut & paste the story and avoid the link alltogether.

Left click, drag so everything is hilighted. Right click, copy, then left click on your post , paste.

Boilerroom,
Thanks for the info.
This is pretty big though.
Would you let me know if it works this way if not I will try copying it the other way.
Thanks.

thanks,
great chart

Great article, rukidnme.

Cheers,

Go Barnes!

how about that elk horn bullet. i think i might try some of those. very interesting.

Go Matchkings!!!

Very imformative.

Matchkings ROCK!!!!!!!!

I love it when I am right!

Thanks Canuck,
I couldn't get it to load right and now it shrinks on me.
But when I punch in the address in search it works great.
This fellow did a lot of work on this study, the only one I have ever seen that is this comprehensive.

You guys commenting on the Matchkings are kidding right?!
Talk about inconsistent performance per the testing.

Great comparison, it visually helps to categorize the various bullets in terms of construction, performance and appropriate usage, which I know for the bullets I have used (TBBC, Barnes, Nosler), but always wondered about with some of the others. Thanks!

You all be sure to take a look at the Remington Round Nose performance. Not bad for a very old design "Non-Premium, Standard Grade Bullet".

Yes, interesting isnt it. Especially the way the X and failsafes begin loosing their petals at only 2800 fs and the no good junk lead core RN's keep holding up to 3100 fs.



And how 'bout them Mag tips giving the partitions, A-frames and premium bondeds a run for their money across the board for a fraction of the cost.



Good article!

You have my interest!

Pat

interested

I remember that article and from time to time still read it over, alot of hard work and interesting findings on the performace of bullets. You made me go and find that issue to read it over again, thanks, some really interesting info on a chart.

Interested.

Here is Gary's reply:

Hal,
Yes, the posters are still available. They are $15 which includes postage. My address is:

Gary D. Sciuchetti
14610 E. Bill Gulch Rd.
Mead, WA 99021

If anyone wants to e-mail me to ask questions or
whatever, that would be fine also.

Gary Sciuchetti <gsciuchetti@yahoo.com>

Now, I know why I spend the exta $ for Patition's and X's

Hey Hal, Thanks again. My money will be in the mail tomorrow morning.

By the way, I hope you invited Gary to join us here at Accurate Reloading (if he isn't already posting). I'm sure he would get some "grins" at a few of the "MatchKings are Great Hunting Bullets" Threads.

And how 'bout them Mag tips...

Hey Wstrnhuntr, After studying Gary's Chart for a very long time, I ended up buying 2000 RN Remingtons and ALL the Mag Tips I could find(in my various calibers). Shortly thereafter, Speer changed the Grand Slam design from the old 2-core to basically a slightly beefed-up Mag Tip design.

If you can find Mag Tips on the shelf, they indeed are excellent.

Ulfhere,

Thanks for info. My check is in the mail.

Excellent !!
All best known bullets tested together under similar conditions ...

Thank you very much for sharing this
