Do the new Brass bullets from SSK work?

We do not need to wait for my water testing trip.  Grouse recently made a trip to SSK (his recent post) and as part of his trip he and Gordo of SSK did the water testing for all of us.

They set 5 jugs of water on a plank approximately 100 yards down range.  The first 3 jugs were white 1 gallon jugs and the 2 rear grey were 5 gallon jugs.  Thankfully, Grouse took some pictures of the testing.  I have created a page that shows this testing.  He was shooting the bullet at near 2000fps.

The picture shows that the bullet's Controlled Fracturing did work and did do the damage I would have expected.

Nice.
I really appreciate your reports.
Any damage to the 2nd jug?

Do you see this as a deer bullet?
I'm assuming not something you'd use for elk?

Yes, there was damage to second jug, sufficient enough to blow it off ad onto the ground. I think it was ruptured but Grouse did not take any close up pictures of it.

I believe this bullet is and will be an excellent bullet for harvesting deer.  I am not totally sold on elk at this point until I can evalute it in a deer harvest. But it darn well could be a very good elk bullet.

Is this something you’re developing?

I really wish I had the skills to do that but I don't.  These are being built by an old friend in PA.

Nice looking results.  Did they happen to get a weight on the bullet core after it was recovered?

No, they did not get a weight measurement.  But from the past I know it is a very small loss.
