It can be readily verified by viewing the tests; but in my memory penetration goes like this:

The 300g XTP penetrated into 3 jugs, and was found lying in the bottom of the 3rd jug in 2 pieces.

Both the 270, and 300 grain Gold Dot penetrated 4 jugs. One was found in the 4th jug; the other was found on the ground next to the 4th jug.

Barnes bullets went into and through the 5th jug. There, i believe, were 3 different types tested.

Both the 300g Nosler, and Lehigh bullets went through 6 jugs and were found embedded in the phone books. The end of the Lehigh was visible from outside. The Nosler penetrated into the phone book far enough so one couldn't see it without opening the pages. The Nosler also knocked all the jugs and the phone book stack over; the brass bullet left at least 2 jugs standing along with the phone book stack.

It seems a couple other bullets were tested, but i don't recall what they were.

All the bullets were weighed afterward, and the weights recorded.
