I don't mean to scare anyone, just be careful!!!!!
At these speeds, you should be able to watch the bullet in flight.
E'trode, I hope that you and others took my "bottomfeeder" chide as fun among friends.We shall never talk of the bottom feeder here again even though it is fun to shoot.
jad - 148gr WC over 3.0 grs of W231. Any idea how many fps those loads would be moving?
The way to "dispose" of an unfired round of ammo is to take it apart, with an inertial bullet puller, which is a hammer-like device with a hollow head and a removable cap, --- the bullet goes in, is held by the case rim, with an empty space in front of the bullet, you hit the hammer on a hard surface, the bulllet is pulled forward from the case by the high g-forces, the powder spills out of the shell inside the enclosed bullet puller head, and the shell casing is left with its primer intact. Bullet, powder, and shell are all separated and contained within the bullet puller, without the round being fired. Then the cap of the pulller is unscrewed, and the contents can be poured out.
Iggy, it's interesting that you raise that issue....the trigger shoe on a CC gun.. There is that possibility of snagging that rascal as you holster it or put it in a pocket...
E'trode: a firing range in a sugar cane field?I can't wait to get to the new range and fire my guns at it. It is cut into the middle of a sugar cane field.
I have asked Tim Sundles to comment on the Buffalo Bore test. These are suprising results based upon what I have seen elsewhere and from the information Tim has given me over the past few months.

We've fired many many many of these loads into Bal Gel of different types and they work very well in bal. gel. We also know of a couple bad guys that have been shot with this load and they are both dead. However, we've never tested them in water and don't think water represents anything meaningful in terms of usefulness on humans.
I'm absolutely swamped right now and simply don't have the time to get involved on the Internet, but feel free to post this email if you like.
