Penetration test ( yes Seriouly Al) 180gr pugnose.(Update)

[Vaquero]

Well there's been this box of old books sitting on the deck.
So I took them down by the backyard gongs, 50 yds. from the deck. Walk back got the Rossi put one of the Missouri bullet 180 gr pugnose rds in and let rip.
Nearly 5" and it shed some weight, there was a lot of crumbs in those pages.
I weighed several and they vary a bit, but 184 is a good average before.

Good video, Randy. Hollywood's gonna be a calling.

Great video Randy! I was out this afternoon making another one but don't know if it will slow load up on youtube.

That is some punch out at 50 yds.!

[Vaquero]

This morning I set up a 100 yd test.
The bullet penetrated between 3.5 to 4 inches, and also retained more of it's weight.
