not too bad for a home made bullet.
the wind is back but the aches and pains are starting to kick in.
I used a sierra jacket to mimic their pro hunter [missed the ogive length by about .001] but I modified it by bonding the jacket to the 3% antimony core.
I also water dropped them from the little tool I made to sit on my lube maker single burner after the bonding process.
this cranks up the internal core BHN to about 18.
I clean the scale off the jackets in the wet tumbler then point form them then run them through the pin tumbler but in corn cob to polish them and to remove the swage lube, before letting them sit for a few months to get their full hardness.
it paid off totally today.
I hit him at just a bit over 400 yds using the Bergara 30-06 with a Vortex 4x14 scope and pushing the bullets along with 49.6grs of I-4064 for about 2800 fps.
the bullet hit him just a bit behind the ribs and drove forward nicking the liver going right through both lungs and making a total mess of them then it exited leaving a silver dollar sized hole in the rib it hit on the way out but only made a quarter sized hole in the skin.
when I pulled the heart out it was full of jellied blood.
I can't ask for any better penetration and performance.
