Recently i shot 3 300g 45 caliber bullets into juice jugs filled with water. There hasn't been much to do around here, what with the Walleye spawning, and the breech plug modifications completed, and tested. Shooting these bottles seems to be a healthy thing to do cuz someone has to empty the juice from them, and the sight of water, bottle caps, and bottle shreds flying into the air has a tendency to put one into a good mood. The load was 105g BH209, and the distance was around 60 feet. The typical set up was 4 bottles backed by a couple of one inch boards as shown:
The first bullet pictured is an xtp. It penetrated 3 jugs, and was found lying in the bottom of the 3rd jug. The sum weight is 250.2g.
The next bullet is a gold dot. It penetrated through 4 bottles, and bounced off the first board leaving a dent in the board, and was found lying right there. It weighs 262.4g.
And now lastly, a Nosler Partition. The set up was changed by adding another bottle; just had a notion it may be necessary. The bullet penetrated the 5 bottles, and the 2 boards, and wasn't laying right there. After a short search it was found lying on the ground about 5 feet away. It weighs 276.4g.
