[QUOTE="lerch, post: 102375, member: 3115"] I just had a customer/friend of mine come in our shop and he showed me something interesting. A while back me and BJ were shooting at milk jugs at 940yds, BJ was using his 300 RUM with the 240gr SMK. We recovered one of his bullets from our back stop and found it to measure the following: Length: .576 diameter at widest point: .715 weight of jacket: 52.8 weight of core: 66.3 weight total: 119.1 % weight retention: 49.58% The core had seperated from the jacket and only a small piece of lead was recovered. THe buddy of mine shot a 300WSM with the 180gr AccuBond into a similar backstop but at 300yds. His recovered bullet wieghed as follows: Length: .604 Diameter at widest point: .752 Weight total: 133.00 % weight retention: 73% The AccuBond did not lose its core and expanded to a decently larger diameter. I know this is not the most acurate or precise test ever produced, but I still thought you all might get a kick out of the info take it easy steve [/QUOTE]
