I keep telling the executive of a certain association to send that to the bloke from registry that keeps shutting our silhouette ranges down because he believes that a bullet can impact steel targets, fly off on a 90 degree angle and travel twice as far as it would if fired straight in that direction… 
Typical, it makes you wonder how efficiently registries could be run by people who own, use and actually know guns, eh.
Kudos on your knife work, seeing how well others can do spurs me to lift my game.
Are you serious?
Quite. The latest is that he wants all of our targets to be shrouded to stop these physics defying bullets. Of coarse the shrouds have to be bullet proof and then we have to shroud the shrouds to prevent them from being hit and the danger of more physics defying ricochets. Honestly, I am not making this shit up.
The next problem is that the shrouds then put our targets in the shadows making them harder to see and bloody difficult to set up. Ah bureaucrats, what would we do without the arseholes…
More impact/penetration tests of mine.
.223 Hornady 35gn, 30mm of aluminium at 100m
.223 Nosler 50gn, 30mm of aluminium at 100m
.223 Nosler 70gn RDF at my track plate bullet stopper at 100m. The dome to the left was an SS109 62gn steel core “penetrator”
Another penetrator fired at 30mm of aluminium at 100m, no idea where the rest went but only the core survived
We use bisalloy for our targets and there is a minimum calibre of 6mm (.243") and no FMJ or penetrators for that exact reason. There isn’t much left of a projectile that hits a target, some lead dust and the copper jacket in the form of a flat disc that is found on the ground at the foot of the target. Nearest targets are the 200m chickens.
oops. Wrong page.
“It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye”.
From the account, not his fault, but I have been wondering if he’d find the limits of the envelope eventually.
Yes, I have strayed from the topic but when the guy doing the ballistic “tests” nearly blew his face off I thought it worth inclusion as a cautionary example of the pitfalls of getting silly when setting off explosives inches from your head.
No more silliness, only ballistics 
Man, it was all over the internets. It was a huuuuge deal. Did you just find it? And do you accept refugees on your remote armed island 
I’m a hermit, a borderline misanthrope and a social media dinosaur.
As to refugees on my deserted island:
The difference a few metres makes.
The Shetland Islands have taken their weather home for a while 
so I did some more range vs group testing on the Sellier subs.
They’re great at 50m so I tried 75 and 100
75 is good, 100 mad woman’s knitting.
All were 51.5gn
