Shooting at barrels full with water
I filed a 20 l can full with water and then I shoot it with my .460 at 20 yards. What a explosion [Eek!]
The energy HAS to make shock to the animals tissue???

Sure wish you had taken a video to share with the rest of us. I am sure that a simple description simply does not do justice.

Bruce, Check out Dave's videos on www.470mbogo.com

The cartridge is a little different, but the results are the same. It is a pile of fun!

This weekend we shot some 5 gallon plastic buckets full of water with a 458 lott (300 gr bullet at 2800 fps). Maddog morgan put a piece of plywood over the bucket and paint spray can on the plywood. Vaporized the bucket and sent the spray can about 25 feet in the air so he could try a second shot at the airborne can. He also shot some 1 lb containers of black powder from a "safe" distance. Wonderful display of clouds of smoke.
