Cool stuff, Lobo! Looks like the bullet "popped" nicely.

Pretty neat results seems to mimic the results of every .45acp hollow point round I've ever Jug tested, they always seem to dent the back of the third jug for me. Matter of fact all the .40sw I've tried has also, only the 7.62x25 wolf HP went through all 5 jugs after fragmenting in the first two one of these days I'll see just how many jugs it takes to stop one of those things.

Thanks!
Any chance you could do the exact same test with WWB 230-FMJ (ball)..? That's the ammo I carry in my .45 ACP pistols.
I'm curious how many more (if any) water jugs they would penetrate.
