Anyone who watches 500 Mags detonate water jugs and doesn't have a big grin has lost their sense of humor. Don

My most enjoyable abuse of water filled milk jugs with one of my 500 Mags was to line up 6 of them and shoot it with a 385 gr hard cast at 1800fps.

A tactical error on my part. I got soaked. I'd guess the geyser was about 25' high and I stepped it off either side of the centerline. Sand was wet for nearly 30' either side.

Shooting shaving cream cans with JHPs is also a riot. Sometimes I can never even find any remains, just a huge ball of foam. Don
