[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 26930, member: 25"] Jerry, As usual you are right-on. My testing has been at 100 and 200 so far since those are the ranges the readers of a certain mag are most likely to be interested in. I am going to do this at extended ranges, hope to go right out to 700 BUT this is one ugly amount of work. Hands feel like freeking sandpaper, that stuff shrivels you up like a prune (there are certain places you don't ever want to get it on [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] ) Will have some impact velocities to go with the weight retension - no use doing this stuff if you don't know how fast the **** bullet is going when it hits. You would like the setup I developed today - had to figure how to move a 100+ pound block of clay by myself and how to shoot the block with an almost assured possibility of bullet recovery (I cheat a bit, use a metal detector). No hernias popping yet, but this is getting awful close to resembling work! My numbers indicate that what you suggest is going to be a reality, but need lots more shooting and bullet recovery before I would make that statement. Maybe your beloved SST's will be the ultimate LR bullet!!! [/QUOTE]
