I received quiet a shock last week. A friend brought over his 44 mag and was shooting in the yard. For grins I lined up a few jugs and had him shoot them. Having shot jugs with the 444 Marlin the previous week using the sierra 250 grainers and going 5 jugs, I predicted 3-4 jugs.. Boy was I wrong. I had 5 milk jugs lined up with two fabric softner jugs as backup. They are narrow and deeper making for a longer path of travel. After the shot I walked over and grabbed jug #4, Busted...so was #5.. I was shocked when I found a bullet hole in the back of the 6th.. And even more so when I found the back of the 7th jugs split open. The bullet was in the bottom of jug #7.. Very little expansion but much more penetration than I expected.
