[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 4354906, member: 12277"] That's intersting - thanks for posting that. The only ML bullet I've done water jug testing on is some of my own cast bullets. I'm using a Lee 310 grain 44 caliber cast from Wheel weights and also 50% WW plus 50% pure lead. Both variations of this bullet penetrated 4 jugs and stopped in the 5th. Expansion was something like 70 plus caliber and 98 or 99% weight retention. Makes sense that the Barnes would penetrate more being harder and not expanding quite so much. I've never shot a deer with any ML bullet than the 200 grain TC Shockwave but have never done any water jug testing on them to see how they compare. [/QUOTE]
