[QUOTE="PapaSmurff, post: 2540130, member: 118512"] In sharing my results, today I also did another medium-long range expansion test with the above mentioned rifle shooting the 124gr Hammer Hunters. The target impact was at 300 yards for this time. I shot one without using water; just simply using the tightly stacked magazines for my backstop and one with a jug of water in front of the same magazine backstop. The one that shot through the jug of water did seem to open up and break off it’s petals perfectly and the one without any water did pretty darn good as well but had just a touch of petal left on one corner that peeled back and didn’t come all the way off. I just wanted to see what the difference would be using water vs not using water on a 300 yard impact/expansion test. The bullet on the left is the one without any water media, and the bullet on the right is passing through a gallon size jug of water and then into the magazine backstop. [/QUOTE]
