[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 3045548, member: 115658"] The milk jug! (sounds like fun) I assume that rifle has a 7 twist or faster. My thinking is that a 7 twist or faster is needed for that long bullet. My guess, if shot thru a slower twist the velocity could have been 100 or so fps. The bullet was inadequately stabilized from a slower twist barrel and shed velocity over the 1 mile range. This gets me thinking about Admiral Kimmel at Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941. The Admiral was observing the disaster thru a window when a spent bullet hit him on the chest. The bullet left a smudge mark on his white uniform. If that bullet hit a sturdy milk jug it would have dented the jug. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot (854).png"]548056[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
