[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1149192, member: 8873"] I didn't build anything as elaborate as their buffalo, but what I had was I believe over 18" of wet media in front of a dry oak stump that was at least that thick. Not rotted wood but halfway seasoned and still really hard. It wasn't uncommon for rounds (Amax, Lehigh, API and M33) to fully penetrate the media and then the stump when pushed over 1,000 fps. It would stop all rounds when under 900 fps. The wet paper wouldn't stop them unless I dropped them to around 700. This is with the exception of the ball rounds if I seated them backwards so that the boat tail would act like a large flat point projectile. They would never fully penetrate the media/stump @ subsonic velocity but you could definitely tell a different in energy transfer! [/QUOTE]
