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.
Is this the same bucket of sand? You were only using 90 gr of Goex for the Thor in this test. You had 110 gr of BH for the PT. Have you tried the Thor with 110 gr of BH?
