....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:

"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.   

Any specs on remaining weight or expanded diameter?

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

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

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.

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.

Watch this video, but there is more than one out there.

Any time, we're here to help each other. The V-Crowns looked very promising. But shedding the jacket and hitting little Timmy after it passes through Mr Baddy isn't a good thing.
