Thread: 416 remmy projectile pics

Righto, mate had my 416 for over 10 years while I was in aussie but never shot it even though he had carte' blanche to do so. He always reckoned he'd rather do it with me for shitz and gigs.
Anyhoo finally he got a track 16 years after he first had it.
First comment was a swear word followed by that's effing savage. That was the weaker fire forming loads hahah.
He was prepared for it the next few and even used some padding on the Woodleighs as they are nudging past 5000 ft/lb muzzle energy and out of a rifle under 9lb
Anyway it was the last 4 orphan loads that it isnt sighted in for.
2x 350gr Barnes X points that were fire forming loads on 375 H+H brass and unknown speed but nowhere near as stout as the 340gr woodleighs doing a chronied 2700+fps.
He shot one of each into his bisalloy target plate at 100m and the same into a bucket of small stoney sand at the same distance.
The steel completely destroyed the Woodleigh, found a tiny bit of copper shrapnel while the Barnes turned into a flat rivet at 161gr from memory
The Woodleigh into the sand fared a tiny bit better but still had complete separation and only a copper smeared jacket that weighed 130ish gr but a bit of sand in there too
The Barnes did a classic mushroom and weighed in and 341gr.
Woodleigh did a slightly bigger dent in the 10mm bisalloy, Barnes just did a big smear.
Woodleigh is quite large shiny bit and the Barnes is the obvious copper jobby

Food for thought is the Barmes too tough or the Woodleighs too soft lol
