:: Bersa Talk ::

When testing balisitics, I here talk of the "water jug test".  Can someone explain the proceedure?  I assume you fill a gallon plastic water jug with water and fire into it.  At what distance?  What should I be looking for?

Thanks

Google "Box of truth"  See all kinds of bullet penetration examples on water jugs, sheetrock walls etc.  Very pratical and entertaining

TheBoxOTruth.com is pretty much the best place for examples of shooting stuff like that. 

edit:  I thought it was theboxoftruth.com but it's the theboxotruth.com

First need more than one jug  With a 380 better have 3 min if a HP ball add  3 more  or a good back stop I had Hornday 32 HP out of a KT go thru 3 jugs, Nevered opened

I shoot at around 10'  that where you will most likely need you pistol. But you can do  20 or 30 its up to you .

 If you want make a long U shaped box  and fill with  large zip lock bags of water packed close together.   .
