Apparently plexiglass in front of a wet cardboard box, with maybe some shaving cream or glue in there lol
It was a 2 liter bottle of water...lol.
The perfect mushrooms shown look like ballistics gel not meat. If it was meat they failed to penetrate through the animal which I consider inadequate and a failure.
They have a lot of S/D at 350 grs and mine really penetrate. But also were inconsistent, no perfect mushrooms, but highly varied pieces of bullet, bent bullet, blown off petals...
But for me it's just a test and I don't care how they perform, ...just report how did they perform....cause I ain't gonna use them to kill game animals.
I just want to know if they work as advertised, the answer is sometimes, part of the way through, and a few not at all.
An animal is made of hair, hide, muscle, blood and bone. Not ballistics gel...and even there the petals break off, bullets curve off path.
I did find them accurate in the 6.5 twist.
And so it is... I do not care if they are used or not, and experiences differ.
They had trouble with the 3 twist 1000 fps a new lot says 1050 max fps... cause the petals blow off before reaching the target.
Like my muzzle brake and magneto speed bayonet.
Very dangerous, csuse ya don't know which way all the shrapnel is going, bullet fragments and muzzle brake fragments.
The 338 ARC will be better here with the 8 twist...but you'll have to get the correct bullets for it. As they may not open up with Maker 3 twist bullets, cause they make them for the 338 Spectre with 6.5 twist would be a better bet for performance, in your 338 ARC.
Yep, I tested blowing up bullets on purpose with a recommended load in the 3 twist.
This time no muzzle device or chronograph...barrel inside the box the bullet blows up as soon as it leaves the confines of the barrel...sending pieces of bullet to all sides of the box, back, top, bottom, & sides.
When no one tells the truth, or muddies up the facts, you have to find out for yourself.
An inquiring mind wants to know.
