This morning the powder charge was 95g. Once again the distance from rifle to front jug was 25 yard. The bullet speed at the front jug was clocked at 1709 fps. From this measurement the muzzle velocity was calculated to be 1815 fps.












The RECORDING.






After







The last two jugs were intact. The bullet was found in the third jug, even though the jug had an exit hole. Evidently the bullet bounced off the fourth jug back into the third jug. Perhaps the face of the bullet was so flat is why? When it isn't so wet, and rainy, it seems i should look, in that tall grass for the bullet from yesterday. Looked for it yesterday, and also today, but didn't get down on my knees. The photo shows the bullet retrieved from the third jug this morning.
