Twild provided these 45 caliber bullets. They measure 0.451".
The roll of tape on the second jug was removed before the shot. The range was 25 yard. Powder charge was 80 grain Blackhorn. The bullet went through carpet, plywood, completely blew up the first three water jugs, poked holes through the last three, then went through the phone book. The trap failed to capture the bullet. Photo shows the exit on the back of the phone book.
