So just for the halibut, I decided to do a water jug test. I'm not sure how the results correlate to meat & fur, but what the hay.....
I set 5 jugs at 50 yards on a saw horse, and lined things up. I was working with another gun, so the Oehler was already setup: Fired the round, velocity was 2707 fps. Not sure how temp resistance 4227 is, but it was 50* that day, vs 70* during load work.
ES is pretty high with all the loads I shot, so that may some of the velocity loss. This is one time I don't care.
Two jugs got knocked off: Impact was dead center, jug was not really blown apart, basically split, with the bullet coming apart, which you can see the exit in the 1st jug.
I taped it somewhat together to get an idea of the damage.
2nd jug caught the bullet base & a couple lead fragments. You can see the entrance in the back jug.
