9MM Hp filled with Vaseline grenades coffee cup with can of water inside

I also hope that he owns the tree he is using for a backstop.

So do I - because if not and he is in the NF he may one day get a 'visit' from someone in a white and green vehicle....

It is possible that the non-compressible petroleum in the HP might have provided the initial impetus to expand. I note that muzzle control was good.

I get a little initial impetus when coitus is imminent.

I was told by a police officer at Black Butte Ranch that it was a $500 fine if the USFS catches someone shooting trees. I was not, fortunately.

I was told by a police officer at Black Butte Ranch that it was a $500 fine if the USFS catches someone shooting trees.

I knew there was a fine for it and thought it was higher but didn't really know.

A few years ago I was visiting some friends who were camping in the NF in a 'dispersed' location West of Sunriver.

Well when I showed up I saw a target tacked onto a tree and and I asked my friend about it and he said it was on the tree when he showed up.

Well while I was there a FS LEO pulled up and got out and asked who owned the motorhome and my friend said he did and the LEO asked him about the target.

Fortunately no one was shooting at it (and we wouldn't have been) but the LEO was really making an issue out of it telling him it was illegal etc. He saw some guns laying on a table and continued to rant about it but he didn't witness any shooting and finally left.

I do however know shooting bottles falls under 'littering' and the fine goes up substantially.

I can't imagine the Vaseline NOT flying out of the hollow cavity with how fast that bullet is spinning prior to hitting the target. (No I didn't click the link, just read the comments).

 

[po18guy]

Initially, it is being held in by the acceleration. Plus, it would depend on the shape of the cavity as to retention.

 

[DLS]

A projectile begins decelerating the moment the acelletative impetus ceases. For a bullet this is, for all practical purposes, the moment it exits the barrel.

The post-OP replies are funny as hell, but I sure wish the OP would exercise some better trigger discipline.
As soon as he racked the slide, his finger went straight to the trigger.
Then he went supine with his damned finger still on the trigger.
I visibly cringed and was praying I wouldn't see a kneecap blown off...

I'm not the only one who noticed....
Just for S&G's I may try that with a stiff axle grease, seems like vaseline would melt in the magazine as the pistol warms up...

 

[coop44]

Ah yes, the usual weird and twisted.

Civil War battle in the Wilderness, any of those trees still standing? Or did they all die of lead poisoning?

Bottle-shooters should be punished AND forced to clean up broken glass in the Forests.

Polymer is hard medium so it aids penetration until the hollowpoint has expanded enough to take in liquid medium from the muscle tissue. Your using the Hornady ammo exactly how its designed for.

I have often wondered how a 9mmP HP would perform if plugged with a BB... would it "blow" violently, or just act as a FMJ? Havent tried it myself but someone must have...

Corbon ammo did exactly that but with a polymer BB, called their "powerball" ammo.

I thought there was another company doing that but with a steel BB ...allegedly creating two wound channels from one bullet, but cant find anything. Basically it makes a controlled expansion bullet, penetrates slightly deeper before opening up the hollowpoint. I personally think these are all gimmicks to avoid, but thats just me. There is plenty of traditional hollowpoints available that also penetrate well if thats a concern I just use the spreadsheet on luckygunner to find one.

I can see a scenario play out when you're in court after a DGU, there would be Leftist DAs crying to the jurors that "...he's a crazed, gun-nut, wanton killer..." because you used "...an extra-special, deadlier-than-necessary-cuz-it-makes-two-wound-channels, powerball-steel BB-penetrator bullet..." in your gun.

Totally agree. It's best to just buy a well-respected, brand name ammo that's designed for defensive use. I use Speer Gold Dot JHPs in my EDCs...

I tried the same experiment, but with Preparation H in the bullet nose. Due to shrinking of swelling, the bullet was only .32 caliber when it hit the target.
