This is a before & after photo of a Hornady 350 gr FPB bullet after test firing. The bullet "trap" was 2 one(1) gallon milk jugs filled with sand. The front bottle held sand and all the water that I could pour in. Approximately one half gallon water. The rear jug held only sand to facilitate recovery of the slug. I used 80 grains of BP-209 @ 100 yards. It blew the front bottle apart and made a very neat .50 cal. hole in the rear jug. I cut the top off the jug and dumped the sand in to a 1/2" hardware cloth screen & there it was. A nice mushroom with shank.
