I'm open to suggestions, I like how the copper cent splashes.. But I want to see what you all think.

Now there is another but I'm trying to get clearance from the generous forum member that cave it to me if it's cool that I destroy one of his gifts.

    You need to bring a copper coin, a silver coin, a brass coin, an aluminum token and then show us how the different "splash" patterns look.,

    ummmm, maybe I should have been more clear... The coins should probably be something I would either have on hand or could afford to destroy...

    Damn, wish I had an ACG slab in the house image

    I wonder if I could cook one through without destroying the slab.

    If you load your own.. possibly with a really hot load... be careful though, strange things can happen. But I agree, if you could hole a slab, through the coin, without exploding the slab.. would be very cool.. Cheers, RickO

    A Kennedy Half Dollar would be morbidly in order. Wish I knew I would have sent you one to shoot a hole in it. If you can see yourself clear of one I would be happy to pay you outright or replace it, and pay your postage...

    BTW I'm going to have limited opportunity to do this, so the plywood idea (Though a good one) probably will not happen. I'll see what I can do, I plan on getting some pictures too image Bottom line is I may not get the opportunity at all.

    But I'm sure gonna try image

    I will be firing the M-4, with 5.56mm I have a 68 mounted but I think I shoot better with the iron sites (At least I did before the deployment) I might try with the 68 to see how accurate I can get.

    Kennedy took the second shot in the Right upper/lateral posterior head. Parietal, for the medical people.

    The first shot was through His neck...

    Did you need a detector to find the quarter?

    Maybe I'll try shooting a clad Kennedy half with 7.62x39 steel core from my SKS. That should have a clean hole.

    I thought the Lapua [pronounced lap-wah] was a bullet; specifically one that was oversize like a .309 instead for the .30 caliber. They were introduced by Speer and I believe they had a unique boattail design as well.
