[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4230332, member: 15054"] I have done that with .308 and my 45acp. 308 would usually be finished at #3 and find tiny holes in #4 jug. 1 gallon milk jugs filled with water. But shot through thick leather first, a wee bit thicker than a leather belt. The 45 acp 200 gr cast 820 fps load went through 5 jugs and kept on trucking. If the bullet stays together and does not tumble too much it can go a long ways. 200gr 45acp is almost as wide as it is long so tumbling did not really matter as it is almost a ball. Found that out when i sent them too fast and they all hit the target sideways. But the group was a wee bit better than the ones cutting perfect holes. 200gr SWC [/QUOTE]
