Well the grandson and I were sitting in the house up at the farm week before, bored to tears with the excessive 113 degree heat outside.
So we decided to do a little investigative shooting. I had some 6gal buckets sitting around outside, so we tossed a few in the truck. Then we threw the water barrel in the bucket of the tractor and filled it up. Hauled them all down to the shooting range and set up a board with the buckets on top. I raised up the water barrel and we filled them all three up to about 2" from the top.
At this point the wife and other two grandsons were sitting in the truck with the A/C on so we climbed in and cooled off for a few minutes while setting up the video camera and mounting it on the tripod. With that done and the sweat curtailed to only a drip off the brim of my cap, rather than a stream. WE stepped out of the A/C and set up the tripod, the oldest grandson donned his ear muffs and climbed into the bed of the truck where he could watch over the cab. I started the camera and stepped into the shooting shed, where the 454 Raging Bull awaited. It only took me a second to acquire the yellow diamond on the bucket, and drop the hammer.
Here are the results, and after you watch the short clip click the "Next" tab up at the top fo the frame to see the expanded boolet, we found laying on the ground next to our set up. It made it through two of the buckets and came ever so close to making it into the third. It left a complete indention of the boolit face squashed into the plastic. The first bucket was totally ruined.
Enjoy,
