[QUOTE="barnesuser28, post: 731836, member: 43468"] i know this thread is 2 months old, but i forgot to mention that we found a bullet in the hillside behind the target, i am not sure if it was from a 680 yard shot or 800 yard shot but if it was from 680 yards the aprox. impact velocity would have been around 1800 fps and if it was from 800 yards it would have been around 1650-1700 fps, here is a pic next to a (also 280 grain LRX) bullet i recovered from testing in wet newspaper at an impact velocity of 2650 fps. The bullet from newspaper on the left for comparison. This tells me that any velocity above around 1800-1900 fps the bullet will have full expansion all the way down to the end of the expansion chamber. Riley [/QUOTE]
