That surprised me.

But what load......I don't think that was a 320/grain

yeah, I think a hot 320 grain load would have gone through more of them.

still impressive though.

they said 350 grain I think I heard but I would like to see them do that with a different caliber, like the 9mm or the 38...I think the size is just to big to displace the water.

Neat vid but not enough in one shoot to amaze me...

But I wonder what happens if they drop 100 grains. Big bullet variations with the .44.

or this^^^. I think the mass was to great to get through water, bullet can't take density of the h2o......eventually one would get through I think.

Used a hp that rapidly expanded giving more resistance and slowing it further. From 1100 to zero in not much time. That's why hp's stay in the body for the most part.

Thanks for the link, it was interesting to watch

Well, I'll be damned! Makes perfect sense, though. The running in a pool example was excellent.

At the 2:31 mark he holds the slug in his palm...looks like a peeled back hollow point to me. Let's see a cast 320 grain hit the balloons. I have 250grain cast +P Buffalo Bore rounds for a Champion 1911 I carry up in SC. I need to make a video with them next week. Any suggestions? Don't get crazy, these bullets ain't cheap!
