10mm gel tests

[Intercooler]

Good test and worth sending those PPU's down. Now I can pester them!

The 155 TAC-XP over 8.2 grains of IMR800X was right at the 1200 fps mark, that's what I was thinking that 8.4 would be there or slightly above.  Great job

the HST did better than I thought, and it really rocked that gel at that velocity. I think you found the sweet spot for them.

The PPU's expanded too. They might make a decent load after all when  driven properly.

[Raggedyman]

Are the PPUs available as a component?

[Intercooler]

No. But we can pester them to up their velocity!

[Raggedyman]

How responsive do you expect the Serbians to be?

[4949shooter]

Not very.

[Intercooler]

   I e-mailed the U.S. group.

[4949shooter]

Let us know. I hope it works!

[Raggedyman]

Me too. I don't mean to be a wet blanket; I'd like some decent, cheap 10mm ammo, too. That PPU stuff was cheaper than most ball ammo and if they put some more powder in there, they'd be set. 880 fps is way too slow for even .40 S&W.

PBR is the hit if he ever has some to offer up.

Well that is interesting...Thanks for the info! 

[Raggedyman]

My pleasure.

Thanks for the tests!  The Nosler seemed to do ok.  I wouldn't want to carry that pow'rball, not even close to enough penetration.  The Nosler 135 seems like it would hold up a lot better at those speeds.
