    What should I shoot in to to test HP expansion?

    I would say 4 1/2 inches penitration. Picture a 3 ring binder, the big ones. Tape two of them together. That's about how big both books were. It made it deep into the second book and ripped the duct tape due to impact. I really should have taken pics. But my dad and I had the range to...
