   I'm pretty sure Kevin just can't get the Noslers at the moment.

Quote from: pacapcop on July 20 2013 07:06:01 AM MDTI recall that test where thick pork ribs and a cows heart heart in a jug wrapped with 12 layers of a towel. Platform was a Glock 20. That demonstration sold me on the 135 nosler as a warm weather carry round and urban carry.

I've seen that video on YouTube before and feel the same way.

Wasn't too hard to find the video even though it has been quite some time since I last viewed it.  Here it is;

I forgot how impressive it was.  12 layers of towel, thick slab of pork ribs, gallon jug with jello and cows heart, and a heavy plastic jug filled with water behind, which most of the bullet made it into.  The overall damage was quite a big greater than I would have expected.  Even the impact disruption was pretty wild.
Gun Control?  Oh yes, the theory that becoming a victim is somehow morally superior to defending yourself & your family.  Makes perfect sense.

I hear ya. Guess we will have to see what the Sierra Bullet does. But I like the Nosler results in this load.

No doubt. 

Does anyone know if Sierra uses a thicker copper jacket than Nolser for the 135gr 40cal bullets?
