PT2 Badlands Bulldozer 2, 30 cal 175 grain gel test at various velocities (read description)

Ballistics gel testing the 30 caliber 175 grain Badlands Bulldozer at various velocities simulating different ranges depending on muzzle velocities. (Good overall performance I missed spoke towards the end and the first shot did mushroom)

1750-2400 fps all recovered and all had mushroomed. The one at 1750 didn't transfer near the energy into the gelatin but it did do its job even that low. (If that is a concern of yours then keep your impact velocities higher)

I do like in part 1 that the bullet had a very similar performance between the one that impacted the gel just over 2900 fps and the one that impacted just over 3200 fps, that makes for a good high end/velocity bullet. Core weights are 141.6 and 140.6 grains. In this video (part 2) Core weights for recovered cores shot out of the 308 Winchester are 173.5, 172.2, 164.1, 160.8, and 159.6 grains. Impact velocities ranged from 1750 fps to 2400 fps. After finding them all in my bags I could see that all of them did mushroom and as low as 1750 would still cause decent hemorrhaging if the shooter does their job and hits the boiler room.

(Sorry I did miss speak and say muzzle velocity when I meant to say impact velocity at the end of the video)

These were sent to me by one of my subscribers for testing.

I use the 10% gel standard for testing bullets that may be used for hunting large game in the US.
