The Hornady 240 grain .452 XTP Mag is a good bullet: i've shot a few of them through both shoulders of big boar hogs.

Now, how in hades did my post get above the OP?

Default 240g XTP Mag Captured Twice





That first photo shows the bullet before and after it was captured the first time. The next 3 photo show the second bullet after it was captured









The next photo show the apparatus used to capture the second bullet







The second bullet was shot from the Omega Dream Season about 19 yard from the first jug. The powder load was 90g. The large remaining bullet weighs 168g, and was found laying in the bottom of the last jug along with the busted petal, and the small chunk of lead. The other 3 pieces of lead were found in the bottom of the third jug. The total weight of all the pieces is 212g.

Here is the VIDEO of the capture.

















The next photo show the apparatus used to capture the first bullet








The first bullet penetrated every 2 liter bottle, and was found in the phone book stack .







The first bullet weighs about 240g, and was fired from a 45acp pistol at about 900 fps real real close.

The capture of the first bullet can be viewed in this Video.

The site is currently having some issues. I expect it will be corrected soon. My posts seem to be getting posted correctly now but there was a hiccup for sure.

BTW Ron nice report.
