[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 23494, member: 8947"] [b]Re: Nosler J4\'s DAVE KING please read...[/b] Did some basic testing with these bullets earlier in the year on water filled milk jugs. The range was 100yds out of a 300Wby. Muzzle vel around 3150fps. Bullets were 165gr Nosler Ballistic tips and J4, and 168gr Amax. Test was how far these would penetrate through 3 milk jugs. The BT went through all three with massive damage to 1 and 2. #3 was split open. Jacket fragment and occasional lead core could be found in jug 3. The Amax and J4 only went through 2 jugs with the third either not damaged or slightly punctured (shrapnel holes). Jugs 1 and 2 were also obliterated. No pieces were ever found - bullets vaporised. Amax and BT both fly substantially flatter then the J4 at long range - usually 4 Min. less. All shoot to same point of aim at 100 to 200 yds. Muzzle vel within 50fps of each other. Didn't get a chance to test at long range using the milk jugs. Have shot at steel plates and wet phone books using the Amax and they work great at long range. A 155gr Amax blew right through a 5/16" thick steel plate at 340yds. Muzzle vel at 2850fps from my 308. I am going to see if I can find the Bentonite that Ian has been testing with. Should be a good medium for bullet testing. Cheap, easy to make, biodegradeable. Good luck... Jerry [/QUOTE]
