Did a quick penetration test at Wilbur Wright today
I only shot one bullet, cause these things aren't cheap.
I used 4 milk gallon jugs of water back to back for the test.
The bullet went through the first 3, poked a hole in the 4th, and fell out onto the ground between the 3rd and 4th jugs.
I then proceeded to blast the jugs to bits with my new (to me) Mossberg 20ga
Anyways, looking at this mushroomed bullet, it appears it has either a solid copper chunk in the back, or the jacket is just thicker in the back. You can see copper in the middle of the mushroom...
Thoughts?
By the way, was there a formula or something to figure out how the water jug penetration would apply to flesh? Seems I heard something a while back...
