Just for fun Lehigh 100gr Alu Hp in 45-70

[mikeone]

Well these are fun they clocked over 3000 fps out of my Marlin 1895g 18in.

Im gonna do some gel testing on em as time allows. Virtually no recoil.

Explosive fragmentation? WELL I'd say, These hit the sand berm and were found on top.

I may shoot some wet news print soon to see if they penetrate at all.

Turns a 45-70 into a totally different kinda beast lol.

I'll be damned. The .45-70 just became a varmint round.

Interesting... Aluminum bullets scare me though...

There 7075-t6, But I get what your saying. I have access to a borescope, Ill give the bore a look see after a few more rounds down range. I am also only running around 25,000 psi. But you never know

 

[fprefect]

Cool

Was just wondering, were you able to estimate by bullet drop what the approx. vel. was at 100 yds?

Well lets just say from the 15 rounds I fired yesterday lol. I have no Idea. I started with a 25 yd Zero ,Hasty zero at that. And the 9 I fired at 100 printed 24 inches High. There is no BC from the Manufacturer. Really weird

Well Im off today so Im gonna throw a scope on and also shoot some phone books and groups!
