Recovered 225g powerbelts

[WinchesterX150]

While i was trying out the 200 grain REAL bullets, i took 2 powerbelts out and set up 3 milk jugs full of water and set a 5" thick log behind all the jugs and fired a 225 grain powerbelt driven by 50 grains T7 and exploded all 3 jugs and set the log sailing about a foot back. Went to set the log back up and found a twisted up powerbelt 4 feet behind the log " On the right side of the pic.

Set the log back up, fired once more with the powerbelt and again the log went sailing and this time i found the bullet 2 feet to the right and about 3 feet up. Wasnt damaged bad at all. Both bullets left huge exit holes in the log. I dont think i'll mind using these bullets on mulies this season

#2 jug that was in the middle was torn in half while the 1st and 3ed had ripped holes.

Do you think the #1 & #3 jug damage was because of where the shot hit or was it related to the explosive power of the powerbelts? That is a interesting pictures. After going through all that water and then a chunk of wood, they still held together. And with only 50 grains of Triple Se7en. What distance was this at?

50 yards. Im not sure whats up with the jugs but #2 jug popped right up in the air and came apart. 1 & #3 jugs just had holes and tears.

These powerbelts even held up when i was shooting my .50 flintlock months back and found them going through over a foot of log and not having much damage. Still have one of those bullets i found in the log that mushroomed.

Just went out for a walk and was looking at the jugs, bullet hit first on the left corner edge, hit the middle jug in the handle area, 3ed was hit close to the middle and ripped in half and finally hit the log and exited. I went and followed the bullet path and found a 385 great plains bullet, found the copper jacket to a 295g powerbelt and found a nicely mushroomed 295g powerbelt. All were within 3 feet of eachother. These 3 bullets ive found, all blew through my 16" thick log i have set up behind my target. I kept finding chunks and bits of wood thrown all around the trail and i look back and my log was just blown out the back with bullet holes. I also found a shaving of a 255 grain maxi hunter, only knew what it was thanks to the lube that was still on it lol.

These copper jackets arnt paper thin like people has said, i cant even bend this jack in half or get to to flex.A good 3-4 sheets of paper thickness atleast.
