Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns ...a few bullets tests...

Test 30:
S&W 357 Night Guard
2.5" .41 Magnum

180 grain C.O.P.
1067 fps

Actually shot faster than the earlier test from the 4" 657. The bullet split open the carton, went through all three jugs and was found resting between jug #3 and the vest. Two of the five petals failed to open.
















At this point I had run out of jugs and just one paper carton left. So I set it up with the vest insert (Class II) wrapped around it with an empty jug holding it in place. Besides the penta-point and HP 170+- grain Mihec cast bullets I found I had a few of the solids that were right about 180 grains. So I loaded up a 657 3" and shot the carton....I didn't recover the bullet however...
