600 Overkill

600 poor mans flat point

I wanted to try something different so I took a 900gr Kodiak and turned it around, drove it to 2100+ fps and shot it into 4' of tellephone books. Well. not so much into as through. it went completely through in a straight line and across the range creating a huge wound channel. I guess I thought it might, but was still somewhat surprised. It looks like it performed just as a mono-metal flat nosed soid. Maybe like Barnes' new 600 flat point solid. I will probably stay with a Barnes flat solid or AHR's expanding SP mono type but it sure was interesting. Plus it fed out of my rifle perfectly.

Was the 'wound channel' beer can-sized?

I wish I'd taken my video camera as it was something to see. The books were dry and when struck, it looked like a bomb went off throwing shredded paper evrywhere. The rear most book had a blast hole the size of your fist. It literally took the entire center section out. From the back side of the first book all the way through the rest was a wound cavity of about the size of a beer can. It hit so hard the internal books had shredded pages coming out all 4 outside edges. Pretty cool

so if you need to put your beer in something bust out the overkill

"damn I wish I had somewhere to put my beer..."
"hey, I got this new beercadymaker 600...KABOOM"

Dead Buffs make lousy beercadies but I'd love to see one

Just one more example of not just raw power but completeley justifiable practicality

Every Bubba needs a 600 beercaddymaker

Who says guns need to be justifiable

Wives cant justify a new $500 purse every season...
