Sabot Theory

This video provides an explanation of why I’ve been experimenting with saboted loads, both at a philosophical level, and getting into the technical advantages that we would expect to see from sabot loads based on Newtonian physics. TheIdahoanShowIdaho was one of the last continental US states to be settled and, more so than some parts […]

JugBusting 5 Testing a Harder HP

After overdriving the Lyman RN and SWC Pentas in the HP Test Tube Test 6, I am looking to increase BHN of the cast so that the HP does not over-expand or fragment. I want to drive it hard at 960fps+ and get maximum penetration in the gel testing. Here I am exploring a binary […]

HP Test Tube T4 RN ‘Quad’

Today we find the ‘lower speed limit’ that defines one side of the ‘window of expansion’…a term I’ve coined to describe the upper and lower ‘speed limits’ for any particular Hollow Point design and the bullet metal used.

HP Test Tube T2 ‘fail’

If I could back up before I started this ‘T2’ project and start over…well….I would not. Like I said earlier, ‘fails’ bring you information that is and will be critical to your success. “Embrace your ‘fails’, learn from them…” CharlieBrassStufferBorn in 1950…HS grad, some college, no degrees, served in the US Marine Corps, educated there […]

HP Test Tube Series _ Moulds we will use

This is the last piece of the puzzle to come together, selecting the moulds to start out with… Don’t be alarmed if you don’t see something you wanted here, there’s a lot of ground to cover and a lot of different styles of HP moulds to use in the future test.

HP Test Tube T-1 first test

A random test of a couple HP’s I had in stock. A practice run to get the testing and documentation down, also to try running the Chrony in front of the Test Tube for accurate speeds of each HP tested. The video is on the long side but there’s information I discuss here that is […]

HP Test Tube Plan C ‘Done Deal’

The final fill and actual first test of a cast HP. It’s been a fun build…this summer we will see a lot of this test tube jig and also see some very interesting discoveries about casting and loading various Hollow Point Cast Projectiles.

The Physics of Ricochets

This is an educational video that I made about ricochets and spalling and the science behind these phenomena. TheIdahoanShowIdaho was one of the last continental US states to be settled and, more so than some parts of the US, the culture of Idaho still retains a frontier spirit of self-reliance.  As host of TheIdahoanShow on […]

FIRST TIME EVER

This is the first time, to my knowledge…that a Chronograph has ever been used to clock the speed of a cast Hollow Point ‘EXITING’ a jug of water after expansion. The projectile entered the jug at 908 Feet Per Second and exited at 450 FPS. Now that may not seem significant to many of you […]
