I had some time to try recovering some bullets from my 460 WBY this week. First one was was the Nosler at 50 yards.It took a couple of tries because the milk jugs bow from the impact , I went 2 wide and was able to recover this one 
You can see where the sticks of powder imprinted into the lead. The Nosler was recovered in the ninth jug with 404.2gr and a total recovered of 451gr. Next was the Barnes 500 gr TSX , again took a couple of tries. The Barnes was recovered in the tenth jug at 408.9 gr and total recovered 465.2gr. I also tried the Nosler 300gr Silver BT which blew 3 jugs apart with nothing to recover. I had one attempt with the Hornady 500gr DGX but failed to recover , ran out of jugs 
If I do this again with this rifle I will try 5 gal. pails :grin:
