We finally got a break in the heat so we spent today shooting the 450 Bushmaster and the FMJs. Got some pretty cool video too! Stay tuned!

The latest videos. A water shot and another attempt on that steel plate.

Rob,

The Gunny's working load is 45gr of lil-gun, if I remember correctly. If you find that load to be safe in your weapon, which apparently he and several do (hey gunney, at what speeds was that load operating at? I think I measured some at 25-2600fps??), it should be winner at piercing that 3/8th plate, with those fmj's..

That's my next project. I'm gonna work up to that, but I am saving for a digital scale. Already got a Chrony.
And I measured that plate and figured that .421" equals 7/16". I may not be playing with 3/8".

your right W.C. 45 of LiL Gun put them low to mid 2600. 47 put them around 2760.
Might need 47 for 7/16ths. :o

I've gotten 2 notifications now from Bushmaster with two different tracking #s shipping me some parts. :? This is kinda weird. The last time I spoke with a Bushmaster "person", (I can't use the term customer service representative cuz they certainly didn't act like one), they told me that THEY had cancelled my backorder (on their own without even talking to me first). Packages are in transit and on time both weigh about the same, (.5Lb). You might say it's a catalog but both packages are shipping UPS Air. This is very strange.

Sheepdog,
It's starting to sound like you may be getting a couple packages of feces. Just sayin.... :D

Well, I deal with that almost everyday so I guess I'm prepared. LOL.
