A guy at the Hi Point forum posted some test results into wet newspaper. He says it replicates tissue fairly well, and it got my attention as I have no chronograph. I have a 357 bear load I developed for defense and hunting, and decided to save my papers for a test. It uses a 180gr Missouri Bullet Co LRNFP over Blue Dot. Fired from my 94C @75 yards it penetrated 19" of wet newspaper plus the plastic side of the tub, and I recovered the slug. Two others went through 17" and exited the tub. The recovered bullet was only slightly deformed and weighted 177gr. I was encouraged with the loads performance.
Anyone know if this is a decent representation of what I can expect using the load for deer and black bear?
