So I set up four water jugs in a row on my 100 yard range, went back to the bench and sent one through three jugs with the fourth retaining a bullet that had separated into jacket and core pieces weighed together at 114.4 grains. I should add that bullets often separate in water tests as they come to a stop. In this test the first three jugs were destroyed, the third being torn asunder instead of just split as with the AMAX test. Four jugs is pretty good penetration. The load being 29.0 grains of LVR using the CCI450 primer. I suspect velocity is in the 2300 fps range.
