270 Match/Hunter E-MAX Captured
Happily, the second attempt to catch this bullet was a success. Once again the target was carpet, shelf, and water jugs. Range was 26 yard. Powder charge was 80g Blackhorn.
The bullet seemed to work different this second try. Makes me wonder if the tip got stuck in the first bullet or some such. It shredded the first jug, shredded, and flattened the second jug, and was found in the fourth jug. The fifth jug will be carried forward to the next test. The aluminum tip was found on the ground to the left, and in front of the horse. The bullet now weighs 203.1 grain.

That's the same bullet returned to you by the Eenarites. They tossed it back last night, via one of the Perseid meteors that showered our planet after midnight. It's categorized as a primate bullet on their planet..... in other words, garbage to them.

I wont shoot them that hot because its murder on vent liners. You would be lucky to get 30 shots in a standard Savage type plug. The LRMP module plug with a tungsten bushing is good for hundreds of shots with that load though.
