SIG Sauer Elite Performance 124 gr JHP vs 3.6 lbs of solid ice.

It cleared 5" of solid ice and bounced off the backstop and was recovered, it expanded nicely into a little mushroom......bad day for the bad guy!

Redneck Ballistics Test:



I fired a Sig Sauer 124 gr JHP and a Hornady 115 gr JHP into two identical frozen bottles that weighed 59 oz /3.6 lbs. Both rounds clear 10" of solid ice, the Sig expanded nicely and bounced off the back stop. The Hornady penetrated the back stop with no expansion, it acted more like a FMJ than a JHP. I`ll give this another try here in a day or so using these Ozarka water bottles that weight 101 oz / 6 lbs 5 oz. I`m impressed with the Sig and I`ll be looking for more expansion out of the Hornady. :) I can`t afford ballistic gel and chronographs so ice will have to do and you can trust me when I say them bullets are pretty damn fast!

Hornady 12 gauge CD 8 shot 00 fired from 36` out of my Maverick 88.



All 8 shot hit within 4" of each other from 36` out......I`m thinking that`s a pretty tight pattern!

I fired a Hornady Triple Defense out of my little single shot Rossi. That Hornady shell is packing 1 - .41 caliber slug and 2 - .35 caliber balls. I fired 1 shell from 21` and it just put a 2" hole in that metal. Wicked shot shells!

I took advantage of a beautiful afternoon here in NE Oklahoma and stepped out back and ran a few of those Hornady 115 gr JHPs through my 9, I was able to recover a few intact and this time they expanded nicely. A whole lot of fun / very little Science.......

Still shooting......

I fired a Hornady 8 shot 00 from 60` into a jug of water.
The water was for effect and probably displaced some of the shot but in the end but all 8 shot were within a 12" area.

I marked existing holes and numbered the new ones....
