This will be a fun test using the gel block! 120 gr. copper bullet loaded over 8 gr. of Unique using Lehigh load data.
Hope they run thru the BBR and will try them in the XDE too. Should be around 1200-1250 FPS and make a big mess!

Looking forward to your report on those bullets. Youtube has some interesting videos about them. Passing through soft tissue the bullets don't deform, but they create a disruptive shockwave that does damage to organs and tissue. The shockwave is effective several inches away from the path of travel.
