This morning, water jugs were introduced to the Lehigh .452 Controlled Fracturing Muzzleloader 245gr Bullet.

The load was 50g Blackhorn, 245g CF bullet, crush rib sabot, W209 primer. The range was 25 yard. The bullet was clocked at 1197 fps right there.

It appears the bullet fractured in the first jug, and three of the petals clipped the front corners of the second jug, before flying off to Eenar.

The main body of the bullet was found stuck at the rear of the fifth/last jug

Ive been hunting water jugs for years, and Ive never seen them bunch up like that! Sure 2-3 maybe.. But FIVE!! That HAS to be some sort of high fence preserve. Those jugs had to be tame or half dead already or something, that's not even sporting...
 
No, no it is not a high fence reserve. Never have i ever shot anything contained by a high fence. Wife ransomed these jugs is why they were free. It cost her 88 cents ransom for each jug, but she was glad to do it so they could be free outside the high fence. The jugs were neither tame nor half dead when they gathered. The reason they gathered all together like that is because the horse is so very friendly, and likes jugs to ride on it's back.
