Ruger 77/22 magnum 15 yard range Photos of all recovered fragments A few days later I had the chronograph out anyway for other load develpment, so I timed a few CCI Maxi-Mag 22 WMR rounds. All shots at 15 yards (same impact velocity as in this video). 5 shot mean: 1831 fps #1: 1811 fps #2: 1863 fps #3: 1832 fps #4: 1826 fps #5: 1823 fps

    Bloody elle even my air rifle can do one of those filled with water! I would have thought a firearm would do more than 3.

    What gun are you using?

    I would not recomend this round for rabbits becasue it will dammage more meat than necessary. This round would probably be very good for fox; lots of internal damage for humane kills but very small entrance and exit wounds to prevent pelt damage. No experience with kangaroos, sorry can’t help you there. I have never tried the 30 grn V-max, please let me know how it works out for you.

    I have used this round on about 25 woodchucks with shots ranging from 10 feet to 160 yards. I keep many of my woodchucks for meat, so I have been able examine the wound channel when dressing the animals. Typical performance includes a permanent cavity about the size of a computer mouse with lots of smaller cuts from fragments. The bullet base will allways exit even on a heavily quartering shot, but the wound afer the first cavity is small an narrow until the exit.

    I’d be interested to see this test done with a .25.

    Purchase one of those new mountain dew 16 oz aluminum bottles. Drink the dew, fill with water, and shoot it.. entrance hole is the size of the head of the bullet. Exit hole is thesize of YOUR head..lol

    Is anyone is willing to run a similar test using a 32 cal round ball?
