Shots #3 and #4 bullet jackets separated from lead core and the jackets came to rest at 11.6" and 11.3", respectively. The separated lead cores penetrated completely through the 18" long gelatin block and were not recovered. Penetration depth of shots #1, #2 and #5 corrected to 14.5", 14.9" and 15.4", respectively, in accordance with: MacPherson, Duncan: "A Simplified Penetration Depth Correction for Data Taken in Non-standard Gelatin."
