9.3 bullet test started. pics posted in #1

Not many bullets survive 12 yard test in plastic and water , all bullets react differently at different ranges and speeds!

oh yes you are right but is more 20 yards and the subject was more what happens if my bullet needed to be shot at that short distance ....

this is just a little sample test and being not paid for doing it i have the innocence to believe in what i ve seen ....

The cheap 270 gr Speer in moose



and the made-in-Canada 290 gr Matrix Bonded Core in water



both do just fine.

updated with pictures for the 232-235 grains and the 270s ...

working on the 250-255s but photobucket is not fast ...

for the out of focus on some pictures seems my macro mode do not like some bullets at all ....

I think that 270r Speer is typically underrated.

I should have sent you guys some 220gr Lapua Naturalis as well.

You're far too diplomatic. In past, photobucket has, at times, been a little irritating for me to say the least. Lately though, it's a real
PIA!! If things don't improve, I'll check out and see what alternatives are available out there!

i added the 300-325 grains but for 250 worth the wait as Photobucket is playing a little against me ...

the test is not over Kayaker1 ...

I have the same bullets loaded, but didn't have it sighted in. Will try it on bears this fall.

Try imgur Phil

Appreciate your tests.

Still need to get my 9.3x57...

That is why the 458's and 500 intros where built for those close encounters of a different kind!
When a 338 win mag 210 grain partition goes out at 3000 fps and over 4000 ft lbs the bullet will go to pieces you just might ant to use a solid for 20 yard

some are working into the medium test some not: that was the intention ... a 9.3x62 has been used over a century by PHs for close call and back up ....


looks what my late friend said about it:

...''...Wounded elephant aside, the 9.3 fitted the bill for everything else. ...''...

photobucket quick and easy fix ...


Really simple - for Firefox:
1. Upper right-hand corner click the three-lines (Open Menu)
2. Select Add-ons
3. On left menu click Extensions
4. Upper right-hand corner enter " photobucket embed "
5. Select the "photobucket embed fix" and click install

Took twice as long to type the instructions as it does to do it!

EDIT: for Chrome, just as easy, go to Manage Extensions, click on Get More Extensions, type in " photobucket embed fix " (Chrome will suggest as you type), select the top one, click to authorize add.
