Here, my .com friends is some fun reading. There might even be some good info scattered here and there.
101 water filled milk jugs were blasted. Valid or not, it was fun. I got the idea from Cliff who does one or two occationally. I decided to spend the whole day doing it.
The following came from Cliff's info. The 25-06 Improved launched a 100 Barnes X at 3,600 and stopped in the sixth water jug. Its weight was 82 grains. From the same rifle shooting the same load into a five point bull elk, the recovered bullet weighed 82 grains. It entered the left part of the south end of the north bound elk and was found in front of the right shoulder.
Following are the results from Saturday June 25, 2005 of the one gallon milk jugs filled with water.

> .375 260 Nosler Balistic Tip 2,982 in the sixth weighed 160

> .375 265 G.S. Custom 3,044 out the back side of the seventh. laying

> Fir 2X6 which was purchased for this project. It produced a spectacular photo. The jugs behind the whiteness of the first few are all in a row with a little water squirting out the top. What makes it so fun is the 2X6 is gone! It was blasted downward by the water trying to get away from the "wound channel". I don't have anymore or they would be going on the buffalo hunt.
