Here's a great video. This is a 308 Win. Crank up the velocity about 600fps.

I know the melons blow up pretty good with a fast 12g slug.

Me and a buddy blasted one at 50 yds a few years back.
20 diameter pink cloud, biggest piece of intact rind = 3 inches.
Don't remember if it was seedless before the shot, but it was afterwards.

300 Weatherby is not enough. I doubt it will get through the rine.:D

300 Weatherby will be enough. It's all about shot placement. ;)

Well i went up and shot this weekend. I forgot about getting a watermellon until i was all set up but i had a 12 pack of cheap soda in the back of the truck from a party a few weeks ago. The bottoms of cans make great targets at 200 yards. You deff know when you hit them with a 300 WSM or 300 Weatherby.

Tomato soup cans that are out of date, or on sale are pretty good also.

We grew watermelons on our farm. I loaded sooooooo many trailers with watermelons. Blow a few up for me, OK :)
