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?

No clue, deer and wet news paper are different animals

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.
