The .220 Swift definitely WILL NOT blow up a pumpkin...

It will, however, draw a nice face...
(5 rounds... 2 for the mouth)

Hollow point, ballistic tip, what were you shooting?

My .220 is an Etronx, so, without reloading, I am limited to 50gr VMAX boattails at 3860fps...

Had you cut the top off, and filled it with water, you'd have had a mess. After my kids carved their pumpkins, I took all the insides from 4 pumpkins and put them in one pumpkin. I shot that with a 185gr. Berger VLD at about 3050............it was a mess.

Good rule of thumb is put water inside and freeze for a bigger mess

I'm going to shoot it with the Lott, next.  I suspect that will create "a mess"...  If not, Elvira needs some limbering...
