    Need Penetration Test Target

    I used to just shoot old Yellow Pages phone books to test the performance of different bullets but those are hard to find anymore. Any suggestions? I wanna test a number of 10mm bullets run through my G40 MOS.
    Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force. Force has no place as a valid method of social interaction, and the only thing that removes force from the menu is the personal firearm, as paradoxical as it may sound to some.

    The U.S. city with the most restrictive gun laws in the nation, Washington, D.C., has the highest murder rate at 24 per 100,000.
    The state with the most unrestrictive gun regulations, Vermont, has the lowest murder rate at 0.48 per 100,000.

      I use a 5 gallon bucket full of dry cat box clay for a quick function test. 22lr up to 44 mag. I throw a heavy cloth over the top and shoot straight down into it. Keeps the dust down.
      All the bullets are retrievable. *Add water to make it more dense if needed.

      I found this to be cheap, safe and convenient method.

      For testing CCW loads I use pig or goat meat/bones/old jeans,t-shirts etc and a small sand pile behind it to catch any strays.

                For a second there I thought you were asking for volunteers. Maybe for a ban pass ... maybe.

                  Make a wooden box about 5 feet long and fill it with tightly rolled cotton.

                      Look for Ballistic Gel. The clear ones are especially nice because you don't have to cut it open to see how far the bullet penetrated. The best thing about the gel is also that it will capture the bullet and let you see how the bullet expanded.

                        Unless your smelting the Bullets Someone has info. Sounds like your just doing it for fun.
                        Pine boards , card board , we used to ask the Grocery store managers for a partial card board bail . Works great for a target.
                        Since you have a 10 mm check out the Underwood extreme Penetrators. Theres a YouTube video of it punching 2 inch bullet proof glass and looked like the slug could be reloaded. . Where a 180 grain Round hardly Dented it.

                              1.75"plate of AR500. If it goes thru that you have real penetration with the bullet
                              A 30cal will reach out and touch them. A 50cal will kick their butt.
