30 Super Carry 56gr New Monolithic Bullet With Gel Test

Published on October 15, 2024
Duration: 7:48

This video details the testing of a new 56.4-grain monolithic bullet for the 30 Super Carry cartridge. The instructor, working with High Point Firearms and Velocitas Bullets, explores load data using HS6 powder, achieving velocities over 1700 feet per second from a 3.1-inch barrel. A gel test demonstrates the bullet's terminal performance, showing pedal separation and significant penetration.

Quick Summary

The 30 Super Carry was tested with a new 56.4-grain monolithic bullet, achieving velocities over 1700 FPS from a 3.1-inch barrel. A gel test demonstrated 16 inches of penetration with pedal separation, generating approximately 400 foot-pounds of energy.
