[QUOTE="judgebill, post: 2148076, member: 101611"] [B]I have an imperfect memory of this but a WWII Ordnance officer named Walter Nass was hired by Weatherby to try this. He used an 80 grain bullet made from some exotic metal and massive amounts of powder and was able to exceed 6K fps. Impractical as hell because the bullet practically evaporated when it hit the target. It was the Navy, as I recall hearing from Nass. Walt didi a lot of forensic work for my law office "back in the day". [/B] [/QUOTE]
