Thread: Shooting through stuff.

There is discussion in another thread about bullet behaviour after hitting obstacles.

My understanding and experience has been that bullet shape doesn't make much difference. If its going to deflect it will.

Here's an 80grn Targex .223 from a Fallow that was screened by light scrub that I shot through on purpose. about 120 yards. The scrub was at max smaller than finger sized.

You will see that the bullet was destabilised and key holed but still killed the animal. Penetration was pretty good. Bullet performance was pretty good really.
