Never load cartridges with hard tipped bullets in tube magazines!

I wanted to see how well the 110gr FMJs did on the water jug. They did about as expected.

That is the bore of the 30-30 as close as I can get.

  • @TheRifleman336 They travel at 2360fps at the muzzle. At 200 yards i estimate they were going 1500fps; the same as the 168gr A-Maxs were at 300, which made a halfway decent splash.

    I'm sure it is bullet construction is at play here; these would probably be good bullets to shoot coyotes so not to damage the fur... it would need to be a well placed shot.

  • Sort like when I got the chance to experiment with shoot milk jugs of water with various defensive loads. One was the old RNL .38 Spl."Widowmaker" load. When I shot the jug it hardly moved and it acted like I poked with a sharp stick. Where as the HP's gutted the thing instantly. It looks like the same with the .30-30 and a FMJ bullet. What velocity is the 110 FMJ going at out of you're gun. For the closer you get to 2000+ FPS, thats when Hydrostatic shock is supposed to show itself.
