Hmmm not sure which ones are they?
Dave, In light of your concerns, the idea to try your bullet with an added hollow point is dropped.
Me, i have no opinion about the best/worst media for to catch bullets. However, i do know the use of the water bottles is economical compared to other type media. Using the water bottles was expeditious when assembling over 125 bullet traps. Using water bottles allowed assembling over 125 identical bullet traps, which is very critical. If the traps aren't identical; results would be meaningless. See HERE
50 grains of Blackhorn powder. I have never used this powder and know nothing about it. Is it a substitute? Is is 2f, 3f? How is the recoil? 50 grains seems very manageable even with such a large projectile.
Ron, I understand the reasons for economy and repeatability. But how did you settle on the two powder charges of 50 and 80 grains?Using the water bottles was expeditious when assembling over 125 bullet traps.

I can't remember exacts but I thought these powder charges were decided on because they somewhat replicated at 25 yards what impact speeds would be at 100 yards with a heavier charge. Maybe I'm wrong about that though.
