Now the next thing to do is shoot jugs and 300, 400, 500 and 600 yards.

You might consider putting a piece of cardboard up behind the jug (maybe three feet) and look at the difference in hole sizes (bullet deformation) as the range increases.

Hummer, you do realize he is testing these bullets with a HUNTING type MUZZLELOADER don't you? Most of us on here wouldn't shoot game past 150 yards with our gear. Some of us will take that out to 200 on a nice quiet day without wind but not bloody likely. And not many, if any, of us would waste the powder and bullet attempting 500-600 yards with a MLer. A couple of guys here shoot at 400 at PAPER with their Ultimates.

Ron has smacked a few things at extended ranges IIRC.
