well, I took the wife out to shoot her new derringer .22 and i brought along my h&r 12 ga. single shot to try out some big game loads. i was shootin coffee cans in front of a piece of 3/4" fiber board and a piece of drywall on top of it, first i used the 00 buck shot 2-3/4" it penetrated all of it with good groups, and then i tried the barnaul 3" mag black magic slug 1-3/8 oz. HOLY S**T!!! i do not reccomend it with no recoil pad, it kicked so freakin hard! i almost dropped the rifle. but i got a perfect shot right throught the can and drywall and particle board and 5 " into the dirt i recovered the slug! ya its a potent round i am going to try it on some old refrigerators next. after a recoil pad of course! oh and i think the derringer hurt my ears way worse than the 12 gauge lol

I advise laying off shooting into metal objects like refrigerators and such.It may be ok but it only takes one bouncer to cause serious injury or death. sam.

omg!ok ,ok, i dont reccomend everyone do it, but i have been shooting for 30 years and alot of it has been at metal objects, i love seeing my carbon tipped .308 a.p. rounds going thru a junk car body or refrigerator or steel plate. and my 30-06 loves to penetrate steel. most of lifes best moments are missed because of being too careful. the choices we make are our own, i am not reccomending a 13 year old to go out and try it but personally it is one of my favorite targets, and i want to know the breeching power of these rounds. what if i some day need to penetrate a fridge door that has a burglar hiding behind it? or a car door with a carjacker with my kid in the back seat. i like to know the capabilities of the rounds i shoot in real life situations, no better way than blasting a old appliance yes? of course i take precautions any one around is cleared to a safetey point and making sure of the exit path of my rounds. and believe me with the kinetic energy these 1-3/8 oz. slugs through layers of thin steel there is no bouncing.. a .22 ya they bounce any where

I thought it was neet to smash cement blocks with my 45 auto until one day the bullet hit just right to come back and bounce off the end of my steeltoe boot! Ya ever heard the expression HERE'S YOUR SIGHN.
