Bullet performance data base

[dsmerrills]

I agree but it would be nice to have them more locally available as a option.

To be honest I have only ever seen them once in a gunshop and that was at kalahari arms all the other times I have had to order from one of there representatives.

Then they phone me 2 months later to say it's ready. For me that's just not good enough!

If the importers of imported bullets such as Barnes, Swift and Woodleigh etc can sort of keep us with a constant supply then why can't GS Custom?

Something doesn't add up for all we know they import from the US now and sell to us common folks and don't even produce anymore in SA.

Oh well they still remain a very good bullet!

.303 British
150gr PMP (brown box)
Muzzle velocity 2250fps
Range 44m
Recovered weight 141gr (94%)
Sub adult warthog boar (±50kg)
Angling towards shot. Entry wound, junction of right shoulder and neck. Bullet recovered under skin, in front off left hind leg. Hog dropped at shot, jumped up and ran ±80m before going down.

Recovered bullet next to unfired bullet.

By the way, about picture perfect performance there.

Impact velocity low, bullet integrity high, good to see the old recipe still works.

Must be a fluke, cos all over local forums one will read how k@k PMP is.....

Used within spec their Bullets do the job. However I feel their brass needs work (at 2250 f/ps cup and core Bullets works great)

Ja, I also thought it to be a fluke, but not because of the bullet, that old rifle doesn't look like it can hit anything.

Ducking and running........ :)

In the past I used a lot of PMP standard and pro-amm bullets, out of ignorance and the lack of other options. I never had any failures that I could blame on the bullet.

Going through this post there are a few posts of PMP bullets performing surprisingly very well. perhaps they are not as K@K as we have all been lead to believe.

Wathog and rifle.

TStone is that muzzle velocity correct?
I also only shoot pmp 150gr in my 303 and thought they were doing closer to 2600fps muzzle velocity? But in fact I only guessed.

I also shot a wildebees 4 weeks ago at about 60 meters. Quartering away. Bullet did not exit and wildebees did about 10meters but if was only pure adrenaline as I have not seen more damage to vital organs in my life. Heart and liver everything came out in small juicelike pieces. Bullet retained was 137 grain. Also nice mushroom like your bullet did.

Trompie - The velocity is correct, my rifle have a 18" barrel, also, as it is built on a No. 1 action I keep my loads very conservative.

Looks can be deceiving :)
