277 Wolverine General Thoughts and Experiences?

[Tokarev]

This morning I shot two rounds of the 110gr VMAX load into a block of ballistics gel from Clear Ballistics.

Penetration with both bullets was right at 19in. Both bullets expanded nicely in the first inch or two of gel and lost a bit of lead and jacket from about 6in-9in in their respective tracks.

Retained weights were about 85gr per recovered bullet.

Looks about perfect.

Normally, VMAXs tend to fragment, but it looks like they held together nicely at the lower velocity.

IMO, the 90 grain Gold Dot bullets are ideal for the 277.

They are shown to expand nicely down to ~1650 fps.

Too bad the 90gr Gold Dots are unobtainable.

Nosler has a 90gr bonded 6.8 bullet that is supposed to be good down to 1600. It is pretty stubby though and doesn't look like it'll feed very well.

Barnes' TTSX might work. It has a minimum expansion velocity of 1700gps.

And Cavity Back Bullets has a 95gr that will supposedly open up at only 1400fps.
