[QUOTE="35 Whelen, post: 1861144, member: 105990"] I shot some water jugs today just for fun. I shot the 30-06 with factory Remington 220gr. soft points and the 35 Whelen hand loads with Speer 220gr. flat points an 59gr. RL-15. I had 3 rows of 6 milk jugs. The 30-06 bullet went downward out the back bottom of third jug and stopped 1" in the ground. It split the first jug in half and put a split in one of the side jugs. I had to shot the 35 Whelen twice. The first shot went straight through all six jugs, small hole out the back but I did not find the bullet. The second 35 Whelen shot I found the bullet in the sixth jug, it had punched a hole in the back of the sixth one but did not exit. With both shots with the 35W the first jug was blown into three and four pieces, the second jug in half. Not long range only 25 yards but a fun quick shoot. All ways fun pulling a trigger. :) Here is the pictures of the bullets. The left is the 35 Whelen, Speer 220gr. flat point, and the right is the 30-06 Remington core-lokt 220gr. soft point. [/QUOTE]
