Should I pull the covers off so I have consistent layers of paper throughout? Or doesn't it matter?

Good suggestion, I hadn't thought of that.Put some clothing around your phone books! Make it realistic.
It is a cheapie non scientific way to test bullet expansion. Stack a bunch of wet phone books together and shoot them. Then take them apart and see what the rounds look like. I am planning to compare Georgia Arms 100 gr .32 H&R Mag against their new 85 gr of the same caliber. The suggestion of putting cloth over them is good because hollowpoints have been known to clog with clothing material and not expand.What is the purpose of this test? How is it done?

Damn, caught me again...The way I understand it, this was the ONLY scientific testing for determining round effectiveness against wet phone book monsters.

Oh...You remove them prior to use.

I'll be trying it with and witout cloth for both rounds.
Will do. My only regret is my flash card reader was broken recently so pix may take a little longer but there WILL be some.Post results on THR! You may learn some interesting things
