Fired at 3300 fps from a Rem Mag, a 140 tsx slipped out the top/side of its 6th milk jug after shedding all of its petals and was found in the snow about 10 yards beyond. Two of the petals and part of a third were lodged in a couple of the jugs that had been previously located in what I can only call "the middle". Combined weight of the slug and its petals' remnants is 127.1 grains. This was one of two shots that was caught on film, and I would describe it as very impressive. There seems to be more water spraying further and from more jugs than a 160 Partition at 3000 fps.

Looks like some interesting performance, those petals separating from the main bullet will cause additional wounding hopefully dropping game fairly quickly.
