Scenar bullet failure! No really, it was bad.

Velocity was fine, I assure you. The reason the bullet only went 20 yards after impact was because thats all the further it could go. There was a berm there to stop it.

BTW Topshot, I have found some Hornady 250 bthp bullets and will be testing them right soon. As for the 225 Interbond bullet, I've only tested it one day at 1139 yards, but it hit spot on for a bc run of .550. Much higher than Hornady's published bc of .430 or so. But given how the masses don't fully understand bc, how it works, or how you calculate it, I can see why companies advertise low numbers or don't advertise any numbers at all!!
