John Nosler' Bullet
It saddened me to learn that John Nosler has passed on. I did some thinking about what his innovation has meant to me. Reflecting led me to decide to celebrate his life by shooting his bullet into some juice jugs filled with water.
Here is a video of the celebration.
Here are some stills taken from the video of celebration.
The bullet penetrated through the 6 jugs, and was captured by the phone books. It penetrated about 5/8" into the phone book, and now weighs 242.7g.
The nosler bullet, is the only one of all the bullets tested this same way, that knocked over all 6 jugs, and the phone book stack.
We all, including myself, seem to welcome new technology, but when it comes to penetration, and shock, from a bullet available to muzzle loader shooters, perhaps the best was made 60 year ago.
