I could kick myself!
I took the V2 out to the 50 yard range to see how high it shot, at 153 yards i was 2 1/2" high, at 50, i was 2" high! I thought it was a fluke and so i took one more shot, right into the same hole with half a bullet width sticking out the side.
Reloading, i took aim at my big cheeto jug " bulk kind from sams club" I did my usual cement like mixture as its very tough of bullets + the sticky sand wraps up the bullet and makes it easier to find.
Squeezed a shot off and i swear, it was like having shell shock! That heavy 30lb bucket of wet sand jumped straight up into the air and flew back a good 2 feet.
I went to inspect it and recover the bullet, half the face of the jug was blown off and when i picked it up, there was a nickel size hole in the back of it.
I havent had one bullet go through this set up before until today. So the story of these bullets blowing up into tiny pieces is entire BS!
As for the " i could kick myself statement" I KNEW i should have got this one on video! It truly was a sight to see that big jug just lift off the ground.
I used 110gr Blackhorn209, 260gr Harvester PT Gold.
Once i can get a few 5 gallon buckets i will do the test over again but with a safety bucket behind the first for added insurance.
