I've always loved that video. Pretty hypnotic stuff watching the jackets peel along the rifling.
Or maybe I'm just weird........?

That first bullet has an odd boat tail, are any of you familiar with that design?

It looks like or similar to a Lapua Lock-Base FMJBT available in .30 and .338 calibers. As depicted in Lapua Shooting and Reloading Manual 2nd edition.

Great stuff. I got a warm tingly feeling.

One round that I can not understand is at 48-52 seconds.
It looks like a gas check flies off of the rear of the bullet then another one from the front when the target is pierced.
I wonder if the one from the front, (rear of target), is a piece of the target material that was quickly removed, sort of like a punch press slug?
