The 250g Deep Curl
This morning 5 one gallon milk jugs, and a green tea jug were set out at 45 feet. The remaining 250 Deep Curl pushed by 105g of BH209 ended up in the bottom of the second milk jug. A piece was found in the first jug; another in front of the first jug. The weight of the pieces remaining is 93.5g.

Other than all copper or brass bullets (or partitions) that's pretty much what I would expect of any big hollow point shot at high velocity into water at 15 yards. Remember, these things are designed for .45 Colt velocities. It would be interesting to repeat the experiment with a 250 XTP, and a 300 DC & 300 XTP.

We need more and more jugs, and perhaps warm weather.
Right or wrong, i am inclined to believe the 19 degree temperature during this test changed the results compared to what they would have been in warmer conditions. Another problem with these cold mornings is getting my hands wet, and handling cold cold tripods, picking up the debris, and putting things away makes my fingers hurt.
