retreeverHornady DGX 480gr test shots and recovery and photos
I wanted to shoot these bullets into something hard to see how they would expand... So I shot them into a hardwood cherry log around 30 inches in length... I took my chain saw and sawed thru to make it look like a plywood test box... Cuts were made from around 1 inch thick wood and up to 2 inch thick with at least 10 cuts make in the log...
Bullets penetrated 18+ inches and the fully mshroomed bullet penetrated 24 inches. some of the bullets hit knots in the wood and you see how they formed... But all of the bullets did not bend at all and penetrated straight line...
