Default Watermelon Shooting Question

I have the great luck of having to dispose of a watermelon and an old motorcycle helmet at the same time. Since I never throw away a watermelon if I can shoot it with my 300 Weatherby Mag, that's what's going to happen. However, I was thinking of putting the helmet on the watermelon first. Wondering what will happen?

1 - Will the helmet launch into the air?
2 -Will it be ripped in half?
3 - Will not much happen at all?

I'm hoping for 1, 2 or 1 and 2.

I will be using a handload. 150gr soft point. Don't know the load yet but think I can get pretty close to 3500fps with about 88gr of RL22.
