You guys, I remember asked about this ....

Got some good pics and results!

Lon - Miami, Julio - Peurto Rico, Kent - Mississippi. See what you guys are missing .... here was my morning ....



THEN .... after a shower ... I got to try a few of those amazing pellets .... backwards! As a hollow point.

The medium pellet was amazingly accurate at 50 yards, from this Victory Pistol/Carbine. I didn't even try any heavier ... as those would be for a heavier unit.

Well ...



Here's the exact same hold ... at 10 yards in the shop - at clay. Now - the 50 yards was, or course, shot forward facing. This is shot backwards at 10. Silly accurate.

Amazing that it's the identical hold and track too. Of course, that's about the trajectory for about an 825-850 fps slug ... on at 10 - on at 50 - IIR my Field Target shooting.



The slugs stacked up and fused. Two perfectly stacked. This is the impact side. You can see that they have wildly expanded and folded back. The #2 and 3 slugs stacked perfectly. The first, now on top as this is the impact side, was the overlapping one.



This was the back, as shot (No - it's a bench bag - not my hand ... hahah)



This was the impact side, as shot.

Man ... WHAT have I done? These things are amazing. Now ... they have to be made and distributed. Hopefully, I can make a buck from the development effort. BTW ... there's always that age old question .... "WHEN" is the perfect time to do this development work. Everybody's always waiting. I work as much as I can, on all 7 days, and the evenings. So; really doesn't much matter if it's Tuesday afternoon, or Sunday night. Stuff gets done as fast as it can. But - I'll bet some will be glad I did this. (Wait until I apply it to a 58 caliber some day .... !!!)

Now ... where's that squirrel .... hahaha

Julio,

I pushed a pellet thru an 8mm barrel. It made nice deep cuts - without distorting. I have made a 97 grain version. I was thinking of your 8mm Prairie Hawk ... and Jerry's Prairie III 32. Will be interesting to see how things compare.

Kent, you need to put your 32 insert in the Chief Justice! That ought to get these moving right along! hahaha.

There are Rangers and Appaloosa that they will be good for. NUTZ ,.... I was thinking last night; I don't have one. Kelly doesn't. None of my kids do! This is just ..... wrong. hahaha. hahaha.

Hi Gary:

I love the scenery around your house. Especially the contrast between the snow and the clean floor…hehehe

Thanks for sharing the test results. These pellets look promising for hunting and for target shooting.

Julio

Gary,

Why doesn't the snow fall on your sidewalks?

I'll be sure to bring the P3 along next trip to the range. We ought to be able to get results from about 80 to 180 fpe.

Looks like you've got a winner there Gary!

The stacked slugs reminded me of the 87 cal slug with the 32 stuck in the base from Starkville. Can't miss that Robin Hood demonstration as screaming precision.

Now a 58 cal hollow point will be perfect for....naw any bullet that's a half inch or larger doesn't need to expand, it needs to penetrate.

The hollow point for small game in the mid power ranges would be great! These should also keep the bounce down to a minimum compared to the round ball.

Kent

Hi Kent,

Hey ... just ordered a Nikko Sterling like yours.

Hey guys ... How do you like me now? hahaha.

Kent ... I had my heart set on some 58 hollow point bucket slugs ... hahah. Ya know ... the things just balloon like a cheap umbrella when they leave the muzzle ... ..... the ultimate "safety slug".

Gary

I can't keep up with you now with your 4x turkey scope, what chance do I have? I think you'll like the scope. It's not a bank buster either, so you won't be looking through tears.

If you need a safe round, the 12 ga shotgun has a bean bag available. We could easily fit one in the 7ga Chief Justice.

Kent

Great idea Kent!

Then, I could sell "non lethal rounds" to the government agencies ... for .... Oh .... $65/round? More??

We wouldn't want any bad guys getting hurt or bruised up.



Gary

I'm excited about the scope. I'm gonna put it on my snow shovel!
