[QUOTE="308win, post: 3042667, member: 102230"] 937fps and 167ftlbs to be exact. The jug was hung with a piece of hay string by the handle which centered it up with the seam facing forward (in other words, we were not shooting at the flat side, but the corner) Doing this made it hang with with a pretty good angle back from top to bottom. This angle and the angle at which the bullet was coming in is the reason I think this happened? [ATTACH]546867[/ATTACH] This is the best picture I have of it (looking sideways). You can see from the impact point where the bullet ricochet off to the right (the path starts to get wider, I assume from the bullet yawing?) The big metal plate I have as a target backer had multiple hits from stabilized bullets except for one that hit sideways, crazy enough right off the same angle the bullet was taking from the jug. Honestly, I probably wouldn't believe it myself had I not been there. There was zero wind that day and we actually saw the jug swing a little after being hit, that's how we knew it was hit. We shoot a lot of jugs and have seen some strange things. [ATTACH]546871[/ATTACH][ATTACH]546872[/ATTACH] This was shot at 622 yards with a 143 ELD-X started at 2670fps. Explain that one? Obviously there is an impact an a tear, yet the jug did not explode or lose the water inside. Again, I wouldn't have believed either if I hadn't been there.
