I was excited about the V-Crowns and bought 200 rounds to begin with. After seeing how they don't open after denim, I used them as target ammo.

Interesting, that's good to know.

Yep and water is very hard on bullets, likely equate to about 18" to 20" in calibrated gel

Very true.  I was a little surprised at the amount of jacket separation; even though I know it's not bonded, I wasn't expecting quite this much.

It'll be interesting if I can ever get this load over a chronograph, to see if it lives up to the advertised 1250 fps.

"Rick's Rule of Thumb" says if a bullet makes it into the fourth gallon water jug it will leave a mark if it hits someone.   ;D

Any specs on remaining weight or expanded diameter?

Not as yet, but I will eventually dig it out of my bag and I can measure and weigh it then.

....after penetrating almost all the way through four 1-gallon milk jugs full of water, after being launched from a P220 SE from about 10 feet:





Where the points perforated the back of the fourth jug:

I need to reduce the size of a photo's file, in order to upload it; did it once before (long time ago) but can't 'member the steps-can someone please help me?

BTW, using iPhoto on an iMac.

Sam

On my MacBook (I have to assume iMac is the same,) if the photo is in iPhoto, first thing I do is to copy it, then paste it onto the desktop.  (I do this because I am unaware of any way to reduce using iPhoto.)
Once it is on the desktop, open it with "Preview."  Once it opens, you will see "Tools" listed along the top of the screen (along with "File," "Edit," "View," etc.)
Open "Tools," and you will see the option for "Adjust Size."  You will be able to change the numbers to get the size you are looking for.  Also opening the "Adjust Size" option will show you the size of the picture in kb or mb. 

Sorry I don't have a cool video, but hopefully this helps!  :)
