Q3269 & Q3131 Wet Phone-Book testing

[WS6]

Wet phone book testing at 100y.

The M855 penetrated 3.5 water-logged phone-books (about 10-14").
The M193 penetrated 1.9 water-logged phone-books (about 6-8").

The Q3131 tumbled in the latter part of the first phone book while the Q3269 tumbled in the last part of the 2nd phone book.

The Q3131 wound-channel was larger and had a "snowstorm" of partacles in it. The Q3269 was less dramatic but still a healthy amount of damage.

What barrel length did you fire from?

Water-logged phone-books are a prepaired media I AM getting more high tech!

I must admit I just left them out in the weather and did my shooting the morning after a good rain

The snow-storm of particles from the M193 is predicatable; many 55grn and lower weight varmint bullets do this when they hit groundhogs or prarie dogs. Looks like you used a decent test media in place of gelatin.

The M855 broke right at the cannalure just as expected in gelatin. Did the steel core also break or is that thing complete ?

It is complete, but it did separate from the jacket in 2/3 the cases.

I'd like to see some of that PRIV M193 tested. Someone here posted that it didn't frag so great out of a 20" barrel at close range, into water jugs.
