Whats going on with this hades

[Elis5173]

so I was shooting some paper targets today with duct seal as a back stop. I decided to see how well the hades expanded. I pulled out a few and had a wtf moment. It looks like the hades are flying skirt first ( no i did not load them backwards) . Not sure what's making them flip over like this.

May fools .... month & a few days late for April. looks like shot backwards to me too.

If the holes in your paper were round i highly doubt they were flying backwards. I have been testing them and i am suspecting a spiral, but no evidence of a tumble. If i were you i would put your targets at different ranges to see if you get a keyhole.

Good expansion though.

I'm going to test a few more today at a closer range. They were shot from my bsa r10. I did notice there is now resistance when loading them. Let me go run some more test.

Ok back with an update. 10 shots on paper not a single one flipped. Maybe those 3 where a freak accident or something. My r10 doesn't seem to like them to much. It does love the baracuda hunter extremes.

flying backwards?

...you put your gun in reverse...

just kidding, I've never seen anything like that before.

Well ima put this in the category of PFM (Pure Fu**ing Magic). I know I didn't load them Backwards. My guess is a few messed up skirts causing a spiral. The ones left in the tin are not in the best of conditions. I didn't sort them or anything.

Could it be the heads stopped and the skirt kept going and wrapped forward over the heads???

 

[Rocko]

Shoot a few backwards & see what happens.

 

[Elis5173]

I'm not going to shoot them backwards incase the skirts take a violent turn and clip the moderator.

556 NATO has been known to enter forward, flip in target, and travel backwards in strange directions . But this isn't a 556 boattail.. i have friction welded 3 pellets together running shots over the crony. Any chance that follow up shots pushed duct seal towards the first pellets deforming their softer skirts.
