This video from Backfire tests a Stanley Go Bottle's claim of surviving 'speeding bullets' using a .300 Win Mag loaded for extreme velocity (approx. 5,280 fps). Professional firearms reviewer Jim Harmer demonstrates the test setup, including a chronograph, and fires a lightweight projectile at the bottle. The results show the bullet passing completely through the bottle, debunking the marketing claim for high-powered rifle rounds.

Quick Summary

A .300 Win Mag rifle, loaded with a lightweight bullet for extreme velocity (approx. 5,280 fps), was used to test a Stanley Go Bottle's durability claim. The bullet passed completely through the bottle, demonstrating it cannot withstand high-powered rifle rounds, debunking the 'speeding bullet' marketing claim.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a Stanley bottle stop a speeding bullet?

In a test by Backfire, a Stanley Go Bottle was shot with a .300 Win Mag round loaded for extreme velocity (approx. 5,280 fps). The bullet passed completely through the bottle, demonstrating it cannot withstand high-powered rifle rounds, debunking the 'speeding bullet' marketing claim.

What kind of rifle was used to test the Stanley bottle?

The test utilized a .300 Win Mag rifle. For the experiment, it was loaded with a lightweight projectile and a high powder charge to achieve extreme velocities approaching one mile per second, far exceeding typical hunting loads.

How was the velocity of the bullet measured during the test?

A LabRadar chronograph was positioned alongside the rifle's setup on a tripod. This device is used to accurately measure the speed of the projectile as it leaves the muzzle, ensuring precise velocity data for the test.

What were the results of shooting a Stanley bottle with a high-velocity round?

The high-velocity .300 Win Mag bullet passed entirely through the Stanley Go Bottle, creating significant holes on both sides. This visual evidence clearly showed the bottle's inability to stop or even significantly impede the projectile.
