Is the lowest impact velocity for expansion yet known/claimed for the new "404"gr/.458 ?
It appears from multiple examples cited by individuals (including myself) that the "book" claimed impact velocity for expansion doesn't always "fit" personal experience, both ways (above or below). Of course, the medium used (water, ballistic gel, animal flesh and bone, etc) is the greatest influence on real results.
Perhaps Sir Ron could chime in here for his view/experience, and/or any others.
I am not sure Bob. This bullet may or may not vary from their regular line of Shock Hammer bullets. But this is from their website.
All of the Hammer Bullets that are designed for hunting are impact tested down to 1800 fps impact velocity for proper deformation. We have not been able to impact a Hammer Bullet at too high of an impact velocity. They will retain the same weight at low and high velocity impacts.
