This shooting is from July 11, 2015.
The Barnes bullet was shot into the trap placed 25 yard away. The impact speed was near 1200 fps.
The bullet penetrated through all 5 jugs, missed the phone book, and went away. A determined search using a metal detector, was done the next day. The bullet was found off to the right about 15 feet away.
The photo show the tip was jammed into the bullet, and the end of the bullet was plugged by plywood, and carpet stuff. The bullet did not expand, and did little damage to the water jugs. One wonders if hair, hide, and bone would do the same.
When fired into the same trap pushed by 80g Blackhorn, the bullet did not get plugged, and expanded nicely.
