[QUOTE="rooster721, post: 942245, member: 40654"] Posted this in another thread recently, but will add here as well... all recovered at 200 yards in ice. Target was 1/2" plywood maybe 2-yards off a snow-covered, natural-spring flooded hillside. Ice was 10-12" thick at the time of firing. All bullets were 6.5 & 7mm... Berger Hunting vld's, Matrix Vld's, Accubonds, core-lokt & Barnes LRX's. Point was to see how each penetrates, expands & ends up afterward. Barnes LRX's and Matrix were the only two to completely bust through the ice & stop at frozen dirt. Numerous Bergers bannana'd rather than grenade* The ones that did grenade (like expected) all blew up inside the first of 3-4" of ice. Accubonds opened real nice. Core-lokt (in my opinion) don't seem to be bonded at-all. Test was a curiosity thing more than anything to understand how each manufacturers bullet "works" in general...
