Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only The great 458 Winchester. Everyone should own one at least once

The Homer Bucket method requires only some wooden step hangers (decking), some 4x4 timbers, and 5-gallon nylon buckets with lids
nestled in line horizontally.
Even the 55-gallon-drum-of-water-killer bullets can be stopped by this simple apparatus for soft point catching.



The first bucket and maybe second buckets and lids in the line will be exploded, depending on velocity of bullet.
Subsequent ones in the line may be salvaged for reuse after some duct tape.

Here is a sample of GSC HV .395-caliber/ 340-grain bullets at 3 muzzle velocities, caught by the Homer Buckets at 25 yards:



1600 fps: 2 buckets
2500 fps: 3 buckets
2700 fps: 4 buckets

Some bullets do penetrate deeper at higher velocity, some don't.
These also penetrate deeper at higher velocity from the .395 Tatanka (.395/.416 Rigby 20* Shoulder),
they are custom S&H 310-gr/ .395-caliber brass "velohexploders"
tested before CEB brass softs were a gleam in Michael McCourry's eye.
Lehigh Defense was doing such things before CEB or S&H.
