      I tested the .172 cal 24.7 gr. NOE HP in soap today…. It is quite spectacular at 1050 fps (60 FPE)….

      The penetration was 3.5″, and the wound cavity is nearly as wide as the length of the bullet, at 0.45″….

      Here is a photo of the gun…. It uses a 500 cc 4500 psi carbon tank, regulated down to 2800 psi, feeding a 28″ TJ’s barrel with a 9″ twist…. Over 50 shots per fill….
