Penetration test ( yes Seriouly Al) 180gr pugnose.(Update)

Post by Vaquero » Sun Mar 22, 2020 3:31 pm

Well there's been this box of old books sitting on the deck.
So I took them down by the backyard gongs, 50 yds. from the deck. Walk back got the Rossi put one of the Missouri bullet 180 gr pugnose rds in and let rip.
Nearly 5" and it shed some weight, there was a lot of crumbs in those pages.
I weighed several and they vary a bit, but 184 is a good average before.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......
