Well, i guess Screwbolts must have felt sorry for me as i struggled with the 45 acp bullet in my rifle. He sent me a couple versions of his boolitz to try. This morning, the 338g LBT-LFN water dropped W. W. was tried.
The load was 90g Blackhorn, black crush rib sabot, CCI 250 primer, and the boolit. Kinda planned to shoot close range first to see how they worked in my rifle, but mud was bad bad bad, so i took the easy out, and shot from 200 yard. It was wonderful to see the very first shot hit paper. It was great when the second shot also hit in the red.
Traveling further through a muddy mess, the truck took us to a nice level spot to set up the bullet trap.
One shot was taken at paper to see that the boolit hit about 2" high. The range was 45 yard. Then the camera was started, and aiming 2" low on the trap, a boolit was sent on the way.
The boolit went through all milk jugs, the first phone book, and halfway through the second phone book.
The Capture video.
Then i spent some time shooting my 45 acp at paper, and water filled jugs. Then a move was made back to where a 200 yard shot could be made. The breeze was plenty strong, and swirly. The following target shows 6 shots at the top target from 200 yard, made by the boolit, and 5 shots at the bottom target made from 39' with the 45 pistol.
