WOW 
well that settles it . no doubt any more . no sir .
i dont know if ive ever said anything here about this but i've been predicting (hunching to myself) that after 400M this bullet would yaw FASTER than at closerange .
it does . also , this taught me that my previous test @400M was flawed in that there was little material (water) at the space where the bullet was yawed 90DEG .
the target was 1 - 1GAL milkjug + 2 - 1GAL antifreeze jugs , full of water with cardboad spacers (this is all what was left after many edge hits , fragged , waisted waterjugs). the total thickness was 15" in the middle , however where the bullet hit it passed through 2.5"water at the handle-indent area of the milkjug (then 1" space) 3"water (1" space) 3" water (.5" space to the cardboard) 11" total . the shot was near the edge but the bullet traversed compleatly within the waterjugs in and out all 3 .
after passing through 2.5" of water and the space , it impacted the 2nd jug in full profile with the bullet/tip pointing 3 O'clock . on the cardboard between jug 2 and 3 full profile pointing 6 O'clock . exiting the 3rd jug (11") the cardboard shows a full profile pointing at 9 O'clock . only the profile impact on the 2nd jug was 'readable' as to bullet attitude as the 2nd jug exit / 3rd jug entrance / 3rd jug exit were spider-webed , streched out of shape surrounding the holes .
this bullet was no-where to be found afterward . the only way the above could happen is with core displacement into the tipspace and the hemisphere facing impact @90DEG yaw ,,, out of the trailing hemisphere ,,, just like the sectioned examples i have from this similar test at 100M .
no pointee pokeholes at any range with this FMJ .
by this range at 88DEG.F. its only traveling approx. 1175fps with 375ft.lbs. energy / 0.63 lbs.-seconds momentum but is in full
keyhole mainia all the way through and at 1.040" long and .310" wide . just try to get that frontal area from a 762x39 SP or HP at that range .
like i said , the shot hit near the edge but the bullet traversed totaly within the jugs . because of this , that side seam was blown open for about 6" and , streched out of shape bulged/wavey for about 4" nearest the bullet trac . antifreeze jugs are pritty heavy-duty .

... national chains and mom/pop hardware stores sell it .
