Nice but all pellets from all rifles do that. The one take home message from your image is that the side levered rifle probably has a rifled barrel so even at 40 meters the pellet has not tumbled. Also, for a pellet to be crushed that way the target has to be unyielding - like a stone slab or metal.

40 metres? In terms of feet it's = 130ft
> It looks like your AR & pellets is able to deliver at-least 3.5 foot pounds of energy at that distance
> As bennedose put it 'the way the pellet has embedded on to the surface - it must be a hard wood or plastic at least 5mm thick!
> Would like to know the following:
1. What AR did you shoot with - Spring-Piston, Nitro Piston or PCP?
2. The brand, weight & shape of pellet used....
3. How did you measure the distance to know its 40 metres?
Cheers

Brihaji,
Agree. That's why I wanted to know the grain.
Just a guess before we know about the AR...
might be a spring magnum from Germany....your guess

Vassili, I am not allowed to pm you by this site it appears. I answered you in one of my posts wherein I had uploaded the pics of my rifle. @BD..ha ha ..it's shuddh desi thingie. Made in good old Calcutta. I was practising target shooting on a double folded piece of card board, which rested against a plastered cement wall. This pellet shot through the target and hit the wall beyond.
