[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 380637, member: 11717"] Interesting results Rich. Like Steve, I would have thought the Bergers and probably the SMK's would have expanded. I always figured the narrow meplat would lead to inconsistent results, but for the most part, figured they would expand at least 90% of the time. It would be interesting to see a little larger sample size. Am looking forward to the water tests. I had an idea for water tests that I might try someday. Make a plywood box about 4' long by about maybe 1 1/2' square. 2x2's could be used to fasten the plywood at all the joints. Glue and screw it all together. Seal the inside joints and surfaces with polyurethane or driveway sealer (cheaper) to water proof it. Cut a hole in the shooting face and put a block of self sealing foam (like archer's use for targets) over the hole in the face to shoot through. You would probably want to put some sort of pressure relief in the lid, like a piece of PVC pipe sticking up so the box doesn't blow up. Not real sure how well the self sealing foam will hold up. Construction foam board might be another option and cheaper but might not seal off as well as the self sealing stuff. [/QUOTE]
