Did a water jug test at close range. First jug was absolutely demolished. Second jug was busted pretty bad from the energy dump. Third jug was split on the side with a .22 cal hole in a complete pass through. The bullet came to rest in the fourth jug. The petals were broken off. Two in the second jug and one in the third. This test was to see the energy dump that's all. I haven't tested accuracy yet but will hopefully update this review. Bottom line, you would NOT want to be hit by this round in a self defense situation. Test was done with a 16" AR 15 with a 1/7 twist.
