            “For the average shooter to the expert handloader testing ballistic expansion performance, the Bullet Test Tube is the first product that allows all skill level shooters to test the bullet expansion capabilities of all calibers and firearms, from a classic Marlin model 336 30-30, to a modern long range Marlin XLR rifle using the 450 Marlin ammo under their own conditions.  It is an amazing product!”

Varmint hunters need good bullets too.  This fine bobcat was taken with a .221 Remington Fireball using the AccuTip bullet.

HOW TO SELECT THE PROPER BULLET TEST TUBE CONFIGURATION

To discover the type of wound cavity the bullet creates all you will need is the BULLET TEST TUBE which will stop most defensive handgun and varmint bullets.  However, if you wish to recover the bullet you will need an XTENDER.  The Xtender slips over the end of the BULLET TEST TUBE and will stop bullets from most every common sporting cartridge.  If you are testing big bore cartridges of .375 caliber or larger it might be a good idea to use a second XTENDER to insure you have enough bullet expansion material to stop the bullet.  This can be done by cutting the metal end from the XTENDER you attach to the BULLET TEST TUBE and placing a second XTENDER behind the first XTENDER.
