Question on shooting water jugs

I have a little down time and really nice weather today. I was wondering if anyone has ever shot a row of water jugs (1 gal) and recovered the .204 bullet? If so, how many would, say, a 32 gr v max penetrate before it stopped? I am open to all comments.

Thanks in advance-

Tom Kat. Having never shot one gallon water jugs with any caliber, let alone a 204R, I too would be interested in hearing or seeing others experience. Since most factory loads are launched at 4,000fps or better, and I would guess many reloaders are very close to the same, I'll bet the hydraulic explosion would be a sight to see. :shock:
