[QUOTE="Guest, post: 29594"] I just got the pictures of the penetration tests I mentioned above. [img]//groovebullets.com/logopics/159test.jpg[/img] The above bullet is a 159gr EXP Groove Bullet shot from a 300 win mag with a velocity of 3377 FPS, measured 10 feet from the muzzle. [img]http://groovebullets.com/logopics/1593006.jpg[/img] The above bullet is a 159gr EXP Groove Bullet shot from a 30-06 with a velocity of 1808 FPS, measured 10 feet from the muzzle. Both bullets were shot into metal cans, filled to the top with water, caps secured, stacked 1" apart in a line - at 100 yards. As seen in the top picture the petals of the bullet came off, as designed. The Base of the bullet was found inside the 7th can. As seen in the bottom picture the bullet expanded very little due to the low velocity. The bullet did not loose its petals. The bullet, as shown went through 6 cans and dented the front of the 7th can. The penetration was almost the identical in both cases yet because the bullet shot from the 30-06, started out at such a low velocity it didn't deform much. The energy levels of the 2 were drastically different. The fact that the top bullet expanded, slowed penetration. Don [/QUOTE]
