Today, three different bullets were shot through carpet, shelving, and water jugs. She found these material in her junk. Carpet was attached to the fabric wrapped shelving with spray adhesive, and they were placed in front of the water jugs before shooting.
First up was the 250g XTP. Previously this bullet was shot through the
jugs without carpet/plywood. Today the bullet went through all five jugs, and never was found. Today, 0.1 second after impact is shown in the following photo.
The next bullet tried was the Lehigh 245g CF bullet. This bullet also was previously shot through
water jugs without carpet/plywood. 0.1 second after impact today, is what the photo show.
The bullet was found in the last jug.
Two petals were found in the second jug.
Last, the Barnes 250g TEZ was shot. Today, the bullet went through all jugs, and was never found. This bullet was also shot through
five jugs without carpet/plywood; the result today, after 0.1 second is shown in the photo following.
The Lehigh 245g CF seemed to perform about the same in the jugs with the carpet/shelving in front, as it did without; whereas the other two bullets were very much affected by the carpet/shelving being in place. The Lehigh bullet exploded the first jug; the other two bullets didn't. The Lehigh blasted water out and away, whereas the other bullets had a much smaller effect.
