[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1178300, member: 13833"] I went out today and did some expansion tests at low velocity. I loaded up 17 grains of 4198 behind the 143 and shot it into a bucket of moist clay with carpet behind it to catch the bullet. I strapped the mag speed on and shot point blank into the bucket. The bullet penetrated through about 1 foot of clay and exited into the carpet. MV was 1521', and as you can see, it had pretty good expansion. I feel they would expand somewhat down to about 1300'. I shot some jugs filled with water at 1300 yes. I am pretty impressed with this bullet. The b.c. held spot on at 1300 yards; 29.5 moa with the 6.5 SS. [ATTACH]58525.vB[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
