Test failure....you did not allow the bullet to travel far enough to gain maximum velocity. You need be at least 40 meters away, if not more, for proper results.

Are you serious? Basic physics. A bullet only drops in speed after leaving the barrel.

Well, this thread is off to a great start.
Thanks for the video and the work involved, BlueFalcon.  I have wondered about this stuff.

Have you done the IMI heavy OTM bullets in factory loadings yet?

Glad to see it performs well. I've had my OH SHIT mags filled with this stuff for a while, which was suggested to me here as a good alternative to 75gr TAP, which I could not find.

I understand some folks want the terminals tested at xxx yards. Film some. "Standard" testing is done at specific, repeatable and measurable circumstances. 30 feet primary distance, 60 feet for a secondary distance. The gel is temperature controlled, mixed to a standard and calibrated by a BB shot from a certain distance, at a certain speed, and expected to penetrate 3-3.5 in IIRC
Bullet tests aren't just some Bubba going out and shooting a bowl of jello. They are also a measuring device. A result of X indicates a result of Y should be expected in a live target. We lose sight of this too often.
Chopping Block, MrGuns and many of the others that do this, and stick to the FBI standards as closely as they can, are a special group. Thanks to all of you.

As you know, that will depend on your rifle. I normally get about 1.5" from PPU 75 gr BTHP with a 16" carbine. I once got just under 1", but that was a five shot group.

I bought a case of it for my 1:7 build and it does very well. I found the gel results very gratifying. I ended up using 77gr IMI 'Razor Core' for this rifle but I kept the PPU 75gr. I also have two cases of the PPU 'M855' which is also very good ammo. I am using PPU 69gr in my Colt with 1:9 barrel, which I can shoot into an inch at 50 yds with a red dot from sand bags. I have never found any 'bad' PPU ammo.

The 69 gr didn't penetrate deeply enough in an earlier test I did. PPU handgun ammo is kinda not great.

Sure I was just curious what barrel you were getting that from?  The ER Shaw stainless at one point in it's life was capable of (give or take) 1moa with some handloads.  I have since removed it from use and rebarreled as it began to open up.

I am truly aware of this.  But when you look at the box, all of the ones I have purchased, it says match ammo.  Hence my using the term match ammo.  Being informed helps.  No big.

Cool, different barrel.  My ER Shaw stainless got the best groups with it.  My CHF CL barrels some of which are capable of 1moa, were getting 2moa+.

My ER Shaw was a 1:8 Wylde.  I have since learned that with these type guns the barrel quality matters way more than a wylde chamber.  I probably won't buy another wylde chamber, at least on purpose.  YMMV.

Love the music.

I consider myself one of the early adopters of this round.

I used a free floated 1/8 18" sabre barrel and rra two stage trigger to good effect.  Never moa for me, but I'm not an moa shooter.  The round was definitely more accurate than I was which is all I can ask for from an affordable and consistent and expanding round.

The early word was they can expand a little and shoot better-than-combat.  Seeing as they were probably the only affordable non TAP rounds in that weight class, I loved them.  Then pricing went North of 400/k and I lost interest.

Later I really invested in wolf 75gr literally the day they became available.   They should have been marked 75" groups.  Holy wow, those were terrible rounds.

Great video.  I remember there was consistency testing previously and anecdotal effectiveness testing, but your clear after shots of the round post-impact is a new one for me.

Good job.

Just a 16" 1:9" M4 profile RRA. I'll bet that, on average, that Shaw barrel would shoot circles around my RRA.

Looks nice!  I still have a few boxes of this, I might get more after watching this video.

Testing at different ranges is not a bad idea, not because of any differences in velocity, but because most spitzer bullets don't stabilize until after they have traveled a while.

I once shot a .308 FMJ into a row of OJ cartons.  (Poor man's ballistic gelatin).

I was surprised to see it bounce off of the 4th carton, back into the 3rd one, from about 5 yards.

Conducted a similar test at 100 yards, and the bullet drilled through 6 cartons and kept on going.

Range does make a difference in terminal performance, but not because the bullet continues to accelerate after it leaves the barrel.
Link Posted: 7/13/2017 5:30:08 PM EDT
[#33]
While that result could be explained by stability, it can also be a result of lower velocity.

I understand some folks want the terminals tested at xxx yards. Film some. "Standard" testing is done at specific, repeatable and measurable circumstances. 30 feet primary distance, 60 feet for a secondary distance. The gel is temperature controlled, mixed to a standard and calibrated by a BB shot from a certain distance, at a certain speed, and expected to penetrate 3-3.5 in IIRC
Bullet tests aren't just some Bubba going out and shooting a bowl of jello. They are also a measuring device. A result of X indicates a result of Y should be expected in a live target. We lose sight of this too often.
