go to the Winchester web site - they got some purty ones


I shot a winchester 30.06 withan octogon barrel once - I putwas aming at a gallon jug (empty) about 80 yards away-

it didnt move...

Puzzled, I fired again... still nothing - so I went up there to look at the backboard to see if I had to adjust my sights...

and there were two holes 1 millimeter away from each other

I had a similar experience shooting my father's .30-06 with accelerator bullets (.22 in a plastic sabot). I shot the jug full of water at about 100 yards, and nothing seemed to happen. I walked out to the target and found that the cap was missing, all the water was gone...and as I got close enough and looked at the back of the jug... the entire back face of the water jug was completely gone. Jagged plastic remained around the edges, but the back was just... gone. No sign of any water either. It was just...gone.
