I like everyone else, appreciate all of Ron's bullet testing. However.... one also has to understand that shooting into 1/2 gallon water jugs, is not shooting into an animal. Those water jugs, immediately upon impact explode because of the pressures, with no hide or muscle holding them intact. When the pressure lowers, the bullets may continue to pass through other jugs, slowing the bullet further. Water is also less dense than internal organs or fluids (lung shot). Yes, each bottle slows the bullet more, yet each bottle explodes until the velocity is low enough that the bullet merely passes though and into the phone book.
