I have been seriously curious about the actual performance of this round too. So hopefully, when the weather warms up and dries out -- I will do some very simple terminal ballistics testing. I plan on using wet newspaper for penetration tests at different yrardage, and wet sand in gallon milk-jugs. How many jugs will I need to line up to make sure I "catch" the bullet? For all tests I'll be shooting at 50, 75, 100, and 125 yards. Here's what I have in mind:

Weight retention in sand/paper.
Penetration in sand/paper.
Expansion in sand/paper.

I will use as many different weights and styles that I can buy around here. Mostly, it will be Maxi-mag HPs, Winchester FMJs, and those 33 gr. Remington poly-tips. I'll see if I cant dig up some +V stuff soemwhere too. So, again, how many jugs-in-a-row at those distances, and how many inches (or feet?) of soaked-newspaper will I need at the same distances? After I do the tests, and get the info organized -- I will post it here!
