[QUOTE="jmden, post: 1202926, member: 1742"] As a follow up to this, here's a penetration/carnage test with the 200g Beartooth Bullets hardcast gascheck out of the .40SW doing about 1100fps under 7.8g of Hodgdon Longshot. A warm load. About 537 ft. lbs. of energy. [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DskEcDvtzY[/url] About the same amount of carnage in the first 4 jugs, but then it just kept on going through all 8 jugs. I'm staggering these with 180g XTPs at 1225 fps (600 ft. lbs. of energy) every other round when I carry this as a woods gun now. Also, have worked up a 370g Cast Performance hardcast gas checked bullet load in the .50AE over 33g of H110 doing about 1475 fps MV. It's quite a wallop at about 1800 ft. lbs. of energy at the muzzle. Am alternating these every other round in this gun with 300g XTP-MAG doing about 1575 fps just to cover the bases. Again, about the same amount of carnage in the first 4 milkjugs as with an XTP-MAG, but it didn't stop in the 4th jug like the XTP-MAG. Instead it just kept on going through all eight jugs and lodged about 12" into the sand berm. [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LF-7SkT2Bto[/url] Maybe this info will be interesting to someone working on 'bear loads' for their pistols. I sure like what I see with the hardcast bullets in testing, but am still alternating with and expanding bullet every other round. [/QUOTE]
