Powder coat's toughness

[Tuco Ramirez]

That's the easy part.... Between the off duty supervisor and I we drink a gallon of Red Diamond Sweet tea a day.... Once a month I take the empty jugs into work and toss them in the recycle bins. You may be right about 5 not being enough. Just remember our water here in Texas is BIGGER.....

I just watched a you tube video where a guy shot a 44 240g mag, in a pistol into jugs and it stopped in the 5th jug. But it was an XTP hollow point and it did expand a good bit. One of my solid cast and going 3-400 fps faster should go deeper....I guess but don't know for sure.

Then 8 should be a good start.

what you do is get your self an old tire/tube patch kit and go next door when your neighbors are away, then carefully shoot horizontally into the side of their above ground pool. You may get a bit wet retrieving the bullet, but it should be doable .... unless their water looks like my former neighbor's pool did (bullfrogs and all)

before my dad filled in his 9foot deep pool in ground I used to test loads in it and fish them out. I discovered 2feet of water covered most rounds 3 foot marker was the main test area. even a 50 cal barret it inly went 3.2 feet before it feel like a dropped rock. tv and bullets underwater are all tv not real watch myth busters when they show this on tv.

I bet that you did that when he wasn't home ....right?

"No sir, I do not know how that hole got there"

those neighbors I had wouldn't have noticed the tire patch

The Richard Lee method of ballistics testing although I think he was talking about using his own pool.

I'd be interested in how the powdercoat handled the heat of the friction but I doubt it would be problematic. Gotta be better than leading.
