Whitworth came over with 15, gallon jugs to take a video for fun. Even with boards and a "C" clamp all we could set up was 14.
I shot my 420 gr WFN with 26.5 gr of 296. 4 jugs blew up, split to number 7 and the boolit exited the last jug. 13 jug caps were also blown off.
He blew up the last jug at 100 and we shot coke cans at 100. I used my .44 with the RD boolit.
All in all it was a lot of fun for the short time we had to shoot. Sure beats shooting paper! :mrgreen:
Someday we will have enough jugs to catch a boolit! :Fire:

And a longer board? Nice how the boolits didn't change direction partway through!

The bench top we set the boards and jugs on was only there a year and the plywood top is pretty bad. It was sagging pretty bad. I have a new board but no time to fix it yet.
Stuff goes to pot fast in my valley. It is always damp.

Here is the last jug. The boolit was low because I could not get in line from the front. Looked at from the side will show a straight line from the front jug though.

What a cool thing to do for a past time!! I'm so jealous you guys are allowed to shoot in your backyard.

Yeah, I'm kind of jealous of 44man too. He goes to the trouble to do funny things. But it sure is inspiring and contagious to say the least. [smilie=l:

Staggering amount of penetration from that WFN.....straight line penetration at that.

Marko posted a video but I need to figure out how to get it to my computer and then on here. Maybe if I just put the U tube address.
