Sorry for the cloudiness of the clear ballistics gel block, it's been hit with quite a few rifle rounds [emoji1787] bullet penetrated to around 14 inches.
Widest expansion was . 808", shortest expansion .702"
Retained weight 140.3gr.

I haven't had the chance to work with the 450 Bushmaster...It seems that it is working at higher velocities than the 458 SOCOM.
I have done some with the 458SOCOM! Have even done a couple of pull downs to see what was being used...LilGun is a good powder for it!
Nice write up. Way faster than the 250 grain in the .458 Socom. Best I can get is 2025fps.
