Copper Ammo Recomendations
Best part of the TAC-TXs is when I say, saw expansion at 1400, I mean good expansion, not like "the tip kinda opened a little". -
Copper Ammo Recomendations
After some research the clear gel I am using is known to slightly inhibit expansion and by extension, increases penetration. There isn't a great formula but for now I'm just going to use the handicap as a safety buffer and not judge any round as harshly until I can repeat in organic gel. So the... -
Copper Ammo Recomendations
Maybe but out of 2 different chamberings with a 1:8 and 1:7 twist I don't see where the stability issues would be introduced. It's typical for 55gr in this caliber to tumble when it doesn't expand. Weird how other bullets of similar length and grain are performing -
Copper Ammo Recomendations
55gr CX's shot yesterday at 2235 Impact Velocity did not open at all, only tumbled. I've seen differering results for this round in other tests but in other calibers so my assumption so far is the CX offering in 223 is just not good. I'll do a 2400/2600 test at some point to verify where I do... -
Copper Ammo Recomendations
Don't think what I'm doing is rocket science or requires this level of rigor but totally get you investing that time and hope you manage to get some clean data. Im after a very specific niche -
Copper Ammo Recomendations
Controlled Chaos seems to be expanding reliably at 1800. Will report back on live animal results alongside TSX comparisons. -
Copper Ammo Recomendations
Did some testing today but I dont have enough ballistics gel on hand to catch some of the rounds, and my chrono was dead (and my wife stole the charger from my car, just can't win today). But using data from previous sessions and some assumptions I have some findings, albeit incomplete. The only... -

Copper Ammo Recomendations
1.6 and 1.8 is plenty acceptable in my book. And the 300 impacted the table hence it's failure. Re:cx see wound cavity. I never said this proves it. But this is DATA that certainly points to some bullets for some cartridges in some weights are capable of expansion to acceptable levels at well... -
Copper Ammo Recomendations
Controlled chaos Full expansion at 1472... CX Full expansion at 1747... Hammer 1700 fps... Ttsx 1660 Ttsx, 1.6x at 1700, 1.8 at 1850. plenty of other testing done on monos. Dig around. I'll post more once I get back from my next trip but can we please drop the echo chamber of 2000... -
Copper Ammo Recomendations
cool. That doesn't fit my use case but glad it's working for you. Thanks for the input and best wishes to you. The data supports a 200-500fps difference which does in fact make a difference in range. 75-200 yds difference, which for me is precisely what I want Back to on topic discussion. Will... -
Copper Ammo Recomendations
Ballistics tests say otherwise. I guess in part "shoot a faster cartridge" isn't acceptable for my parameters but shooting a faster factory load (Superformance) or a lower grain that is still effective on game (50gr potentially) is. Which this thread is intended to help me find. And if MOV is... -
Copper Ammo Recomendations
No. It won't. Minimum opening velocities are a thing. Appreciate you trying to help but as you eloquently put it: "There are no absolutes in the field. There’s value in both sides of an argument." A pencil hole through game in the last hours of daylight at 300 yds equals hours searching for... -

Copper Ammo Recomendations
Thanks for posting. Will follow that thread. Found some data that said the cx's will expand at 1800. Going to test them against the ttsx's this year. Will try to capture some data on longer range/lower velocity impacts I'm expecting. I have some Controlled Chaos I will also test out of a... -

3p KUIU Mountain Star Tent
I have. 3 people. It worked well, though I will warn with 3 people, the vestibules get very tight. And what people do seem to get confused about with tent sizes, 3p means 3 people laying the same foot to head direction side by side. Nothing more or less. One thing to note, there is a right...- Weber

Treated Down in Ultra Wet Prince William Sound
My father runs a Chilkoot. Seems to like it, we've both had plenty of condensation on my KUIU bags (I have 2 of the old style and one of the new) and his Chilkoot and they've done well. The only notable difference that mattered to me is SG only makes a 6' 6" bag (at least when I was buying) and...- Weber
