    100% weight retention after hitting a 10 pound propane tank.

    With 1 1/8" expansion.

    That's was a federal deep penatrating true ball slug from a 14" barrel at 50 yards.

    Nice to know next time I'm out hunting propane for the family grill.

    Actually, it is interesting. I have little need for slugs in my HD gun, but I keep a couple boxes of the Federal Deep Penetrator TruBall in case I need to...well...penetrate something deeply.

    I've never recovered a soft lead foster slug that's retained more than 75% of it's weight after penatrating a deer shoulder bone. I was shocked that the dptb retained so much.


    Not me but a much better test

    For once the label on the box is meaningful. The TBDPs are, by all reports I've heard, phenomenal at penetrating cars and big critters.
