Happily, the second attempt to catch this bullet was a success. Once again the target was carpet, shelf, and water jugs. Range was 26 yard. Powder charge was 80g Blackhorn.
The bullet seemed to work different this second try. Makes me wonder if the tip got stuck in the first bullet or some such. It shredded the first jug, shredded, and flattened the second jug, and was found in the fourth jug. The fifth jug will be carried forward to the next test. The aluminum tip was found on the ground to the left, and in front of the horse. The bullet now weighs 203.1 grain.
