Please test the Oryx ! An fusion for that matter. Both bonded ay!?

Thanks for posting your results.... The TA , it's a bonded bullet by the looks? Not familiar with it

Cool. I'd like to see the sako 156 gr vs the norma 156 gr. do you have a chrony to get velocities?

I'm cheaper than you OP, I don't use gel blocks or plastic jugs; I test my bullets on big game.

I loaded some 44 magnums and shot at 4 water jugs a few weeks ago trying to test expansion of the bullet.... all jugs split and destroyed and couldn't locate the bullet. I assume the milk jugs are too thin plastic and split too easy. I'm continuing to save some milk jugs in the shed to try again since we empty a milk jug every few days compared to washer fluid jugs every few months

Thanks Alberta John for the report and the awesome pictures!

Very cool indeed!

Don't remember where I noted this recipe for ballistic gel , 1 lb. of gelatin and 9 lb. of water. Might be worth a try

No I don't have a scale for that but I did measure the diameter and the ttsx expanded to .5 inch and the T/A expanded to .625 inch.

Great job on the bullet test AJ Thank You ! Hey u can use your powder scale to weight the bullets

 

[BigBraz15]

Personally that TSX looks like it expanded okay, but seems that it could be iffy at distance once the speed drops off. I’d vote for the terminal ascent also.

Great post...LOVE IT ! Great performance on both, but I like the "shroom" on the bonded bullet much better !!

That's something we always did back in the early days of bullet testing...water jugs, wet phone books or wet acoustic ceiling tiles for backers.
Nuthin in them days out performed the Nosler partitions for us ! That was pre-copper days as well.
