A few bullets caught in milk jugs

[wisconsinteacher]

.243 85gr Partition


7mmRM 150gr Partition (I am now shooting 3150fps and would like to reshoot this one to compare the speeds)

444 Marlin 265 InterLock


I still have a few to catch but the neighbor kids are not drinking milk fast enough!!!

Interesting - Impressed with the .243 85PT.
I shoot that 30 cal 180gn BT in a 300WSM at a little faster muzzle speed. Again interesting penetration at the 2760fps.
Good job.

Yes, indeed, the 85 grain PT is pretty impressive. I may have to look for some of these to build a load for my grandson.

Nice work WT.

I have started a load for my wife and her BAR with the 243 85PT using RL17. I need to get out and chrono it. This is just for whitetails. Seeing that penetration I believe getting to the vitals is a non issue. The 100gn PT has always been dependable, this is our first time using the 85PT.

Wow, I thought the 265 interlock from a 444 Marlin woulda made it through another jug or two... But it did open up like a parachute and hold onto a lot of weight. I'll be trying to get a deer with them this year.

 

[wisconsinteacher]

Maybe I have thick "skinned" jugs. I think they will work great on deer and bear over a bait site. I hope to see the results in person this fall.

I am going to try RL19 with the 243 next. They didn't group the best with IMR4350.

 

[JD338]

Give IMR4895 a try in your 243 Win.

I do believe I have some IMR4895 on hand but I will have to check.

Well....heck...you guys want accuracy AND penetration there is only ONE answer......lol!

I love this vid and have watched it a bunch....I'd love to shoot w/this guy!

I was not expecting that. Wow that is crazy.

 

[DrMike]

That could ruin the day for many deer. :grin:

I loaded the 95gr partitions for a number of years in my son's 243 in the BDL. That was one rifle that I really wished I would have kept. Those 95gr were lethal on Whitetail.
Watched that video on the 30-30, the shooter and the bullet were very impressive.

Blessings,

That 444 may have 'only' made it through 4 jugs, but I'll bet the splash watered the lawn for a full acre all around ! I smell serious bear medicine.

You likely have that spot on.

 

[wisconsinteacher]

You are correct on the 444, I had to cover some ground to pick up all the pieces of plastic.
