The test media was water saturated sand in a Styrofoam cooler , the boolit was going 950 fps , cast from isotope container alloy 11bhn.

salvadore, it looks as if ya boolit is a tad hard (no expansion of the driving bands) & the nose almost fragmenting, I`d reduce the antimony & keep the tin content. BUT the difference may be the test media, also the depth of the cavity I like it deeper than the first driving band.

Wet sand is much more resistant than living tissue. Don't expect that much expansion in real life.

Boolit? Really? Can we use adult language, please?

You're probably right GP, I was just happy I got any expansion out os my 2" Colt Cobra.
