Went to the John Linebaugh Seminar and penetration test
this week end and saw some interesting results. A 416 Rigby 410 grain
Federal Factory load round nose solid penetrated 46". The 475 Linebaugh
with 425 grain Buffalo Bore Factory load went 49", 1400 + Fps. The 500
Linebaugh 525 grain Buffalo Bore load at 1097 fps penetrated 50". The 50
Alaskan Revolver with the 525 grain Buffalo Bore load at a clocked 1570
fps went 51". The 500 Linebaugh with a 450 grain punch bullet at 1280
FPS + or - penetrated 51".The 500 JRH 425 grain factory load at 1380 +
or _ went 50".The 416 Rigby Federal factory loaded 400 grain Nosler
partion went 30" in the test.
NOW THE MOST DEVASTATING LOAD TESTED, the one that rocked the test box
the most and the one that blew about a 4" diameter wound channel and
penetrated 28" was a Dixie slug 730 grain at 1200 fps IMPRESSIVE to say
the least.
I will be getting a spread sheet together and post more results in a
week or so..as can be seen these big bore revolvers with less speed
penetrate with the big rifles..........and the wound channel was
larger......... |
