I was goofing around shooting 1 gallon milk jugs filled with water. When practicing with my long range guns I shoot them out to 600 yards .
If I can hit a gallon jug I can fill my freezer with meat.
So I get an idea to bring them close....20 yards, line them up and shoot them. Never done this before.
Left is a 358 Norma Mag loaded with a 250gr Hornady Spirepoint@2825fps. It's my practice round. It held together well, Might be a hunting load after all.
Retained weight is 140 grains.
Right is a 40 cal Speer 180gr Gold dot. It's my daily carry load retained weight 178 grains
Question???? Is water harder on bullets then game?
300 Win Mag and the Hornady 180 gr Spirepoints@3050fps did not survive. It's only my practice load but I thought it would do a little better, Bullet fragmented and I only found little pieces of jacket/core
