Anybody done expansion testing or any other terminal testing and recovered the bullet?
I tried mine at 1050fps with 7 half gallon bottles of water, it went through all 7 and didn't stop.
the second one split as expected but not where the bullet went through all the holes were perfectly round and appeared to be the same size.
I cast these from nearly pure lead and were below the lowest BHN the chart with my Lee testing had on it so I know it was soft enough to expand and should've tumbled.

Mine are water dropped WW. Launched at 800 fps passed thru 54 inches of water ans hit a tree. Shot thru 27 inches of wet phone books and 3 inches into the dirt. Chucked one up in the lathe and put a hollow point in one penetrated 9 inches. Flipped end over end at about 2 1/2 inches.
