The jug will be donated to the city' recycling.

The shooting started with 8 preloaded vials of powder that were loaded at home. NO hits in these first 8 shots. Then i began throwing loads at the truck. Don't have a real good count on those, but i will guess i hit the jug with the 13th shot. This shooting was done yesterday. This morning we are having a mild blizzard.

The bullet took a little over a second to fly to the target. 32 frames in the video is the time of flight; the camera shoots 30 frames/sec. This gave me ample time to recover from the slight recoil, and spot the shots hitting the ground. Elevation differences could have played a role, but i believe the target, and the gun were near the same elevation; about 4900'.
