    Got a .22 .30 .32 .357 .38 .40 .41 .44 .45 .480 or .500 S&W cylinder that needs throats honed? 9mm, 10mm/40S&W, 45 ACP pistol barrel that won't "plunk" your handloads? 480 Ruger or 475 Linebaugh cylinder that needs the "step" reamed to 6° 30min chamfer?

    YIKES!

    How did that bullet hit sideways?

    If it keyholed it couldn't possibly hit the target.

    If it hit the target point on it couldn't possibly flatten lengthwise.

    Somebody 'splain it to me.

    Looks like the first shot hit the ground first, watch as dirt flies up right before impact.

    Watch close, one hit was a ricochet. That would have been the one.
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    wow, 2 out of 3 hits, even if one was a richochet. That's pretty good, no wait, that's really good!

    I have been an amateur photographer for 50 years.

    Believe me, we have no idea how many shots he fired to get that three hits.

    I couldn't even SEE a target that size at that distance without magnification. I'm going to call this some fine shooting, no matter how many misses he edited out. Now, get some hits at that range over iron sights, and I might well start calling someone Eagle Eye...

    Hey thats easy with "J" bullets, what about cast?

    Now there's a challenge for the smokeless paper patch guys to tackle. I know I couldn't do it but I bet one of them can. Wouldn't that be something to have slowmo video of a paper patched boolit leaving the muzzle then hitting the target and the same range.
