Penetration!
sTOPPED BY MYHUNTING BUDDIES PLACE LAST SUN. TO LET HIM SHOOT MY wisper,,, he was spliting fire wood and asked what kind of penetration I was getting,,,, did not know but figured 1 1/2inchs intio hardwood.

He put up a pce of birch about 4 or 5 inches in dia., shot two into it,,, he started splitting it and fount complete penetration.
I then set out a pce of dry beech and shot two into it (9.7 gs of 296 and 220 smk) started to split it and found that it had penetrated 7 inches from surface to tip of SMK into this twisted beech log. The bullet is still half lodged in wood and in pristime conditiion,,,, could dig it out and reload it.
Would have doubted this much penetration at 1020 fps or so. got pics on phone for doubting ones
