A quick test on the scale showed the weight at 190.84 grains, most likely exactly what the bullet weighed before striking the ballistics gel. Amazing.Īs you can see in the picture above, the bullet looked to be in very good condition, the only obvious thing was the rifling marks engraved on the bearing surface of the bullet. I was able to find the bullet from shot 3 laying on the ground- following a path along the ground at the angle which the ballistics gel suggested the bullet was travelling as it exited the gel. Shot 3: (two blocks) Same result as Shot 2, but emerging from the side.Shot 2: (two blocks) Penetrated first block and part of second block, emerging from top of block.Shot 1: Went through the entire single block (only one setup for this shot).When we went to shoot this load with the ballistics gel, thigs didn’t exactly go as planned! Here’s the shot by shot breakdown: This load produced an average velocity of 1014.8 feet/sec which is a nice velocity for subsonic scenarios. This load and bullet is GREAT for shooting steel targets, but I had to know how they would do with ballistics gel.
