Andy,
I have to believe there is a lot of the energy used in the deformation and break up of the bullet. Dept. of energy range design recommends a safe zone greater than 15 degrees forward of steel plate point of impact and 50 feet radial distance. We did some testing Monday night by placing a...
If the gun club members shoot at steel targets and the bullets are traveling between 800 and 1300 fps and weigh between 112 and 220 grains how far will the fragments travel if they are less than 10 grains in size. The impact on the steel is at approximately 90 deg.
So far testing has shown...
