[QUOTE="davewilson, post: 170247, member: 4491"] i like to put a phone book or a couple magazines in between every milk jug. this way you can get an idea of the diameter of the bullet at the distance it has penetrated. i did this again last weekend, let a 15 year old shoot a couple jugs with my gun at 600 yards. then i let him plow the jugs and magazines. he's never shot more than 300 yards. he said it was a dream come true! i've shot quite a few 338/250SMK's into jugs now and i've never seen one not open up. one thing you might do when shooting jugs of water is to put a number on each one so you'll know where it was before impact. most of the time you might be able to tell which jug was first but the rest will be a "best guesstiment" unless they're numbered.
