i got a bunch of 1 gallon jugs.

Which way did you want to see? All lined up or just a single jug explode?

Doesn't he line like 5 up with some kind of back stop? i actually feel it more closely reflects what the bullet will do in a deer size animal.i would do the test myself, but don't have any to test. Ray

Shoot i dont have that many jugs LOL. I'll see what i can put together.

I looked through my threader kit but didnt have anything that'd work. I plan on putting a thead on the poly insert and see if that helps. Kind of like what i do on my lead inserts only a lot less hassle with these lol.

I'm assuming from your "that's not good" that the bullet doesn't look as though there will be pass throughs on deer?

I don't recall Ron ever having one go past 5 jugs lol. don't think you need that many jugs. Ray

No clue, deer and wet news paper are different animals :D

The entrance hole was simply amazing so i think these suckers will leave huge entrance holes.

I plan on emailing chris hodgdon and get his hunt info as he already shot a big muley with the aerolite.

i got 2 1 gallon water jugs, 1 milk jug and i think 2 big cheeto containers outside that hold probably 2 - 3 galls of water. I'll look out in the shop and see if i still have some milk jugs from earlier testing.

Very nice video MD. Would love to see a closer shot in the 50yd range.
