This bullet seems to have detonated on impact... Wonder if it's a twist issue?

********** watch the white DOT ***********

WARNING - 3.1meg video of poor bullet performance


What's the twist on that one, george?

I can see the advert right now...

Jeff, I take it from your silence on the 500 A2 thread that you do not want to participate in a penetration test of fast twist versus slow twist barrels.

jeffe... What exactly are we looking at?

Jeffe,
I just got home. Both airports were an absolute madhouse.

Thanks for a great time; try to have some bigger rifles next time. Those .458 Lott, .470AR, and .550 Magnum peashooters didn't even give me a nosebleed.


Smallfry,
If I remember correctly (all the way back to yesterday), that's a Sierra MatchKing from a 1-10" twist barrel.

Penetration from 25yds. was about 1" before the bullet (and test media) 'came apart'.

George

Yes- the penetration of the 1:10 twist barrel was indeed very poor with the 300 gr bullet. Pathetic in fact!-Rob

Quit being so pathetically cryptic. What bullet? What rifle? 10" twisted GSC FN's or North Fork FP's of .375/300gr to .510/570gr at velocities of 2100 to 2700 fps will penetrate as well or better than anything.

That 10" twist lets one use a greater variety of bullets of all makes (for their proper uses)and costs less than 1% in velocity or less than 1% in pressure, and less than 0.1 MOA.

Those are the facts. No obfuscations will change them.

Get real.

The Kids real gun penetrated fine and his twist is only 1 to 48 I think.Ed.

What software ar you guys using to view the video? Windows XP wants me to download an Apple program to view it??

Gerard
There using "Quicktime" which is a one of the standard formats for video. Yes, it's a Apple product

Jeffe,

Looks like you and the boys had a "blast"...pun intended.

Sorry I missed it.

Dan,
I left wednesday morning with quite a few guys (Rob, Neal, George, Mike D, Tigger, Gringo, FLA30-06) to go hunting for the week.... I'll get back with you n the barrel

All,
George will tell his tale!

jeffe

And the story is???

Jeffe, as always, I had a super time. Fine camaraderie with kindred spirits! Special thanks to George, Neal, Mike, Rob who went great lengths.

I can't believe you didn't mail my invitation out in time!! OF course, you knew I was working on the deal to get those M30's and P17's. Call me on my cell when you get a chance today.

I think the pig hide flying through the air had a 1-10 twist...........one twist in 100 ft, but quite stable for a pig hide none the less.

I did ask you several times, including before you left, but did not see any response. Usually a lack of response means no.

All Bubbas have taken the sacred oath to never never use a 1:10 twist barrel in any caliber above .22 LR due to the INFERIOR performance witnessed by all on Saturday. Our conclusion, despite the protestations of the un-initiated and I should add un-tested wanna-be's is that the 1:10 twist with a 300 gr bullet provides INFERIOR results on real game animals. Case Closed!-Rob

C'mon guys, tell us the whole story, with details! Are we looking at a small hog hit with a BIG round??? The results are like my Lott on a rockchuck

Looks like someone has been playing with a little tannerite

Give that man a Cigggar

Hog Killer,

You missed a great time!

George

George, as things turned out, I had to be here Friday and Saturday. Had to serve as a pallbearer on Sat.

I am SURE y'all had a blast.

Hog Killer

Ahhh, I get it now..."explosive expansion"!
