While they were all interesting, the "exact second" captured on film, it was one of the bullet photos that caught my attention.

The red light bulb held by the rubber hand has a bullet flying through it and, looking at it, it's going from our right to our left. Examine the bullet. It looks like it's got a flat head, meaning it's a "wadcutter" for paper targets, to make neat instead of jagged holes for scoring purposes. I think the bullet entered the bulb a bit high on the right, with the smallest of disturbances demonstrated there, and exited the bulb with its energy expended so strongly that it didn't punch its usual neat hole, but knocked out one side of the bulb.

I used to handload, meaning I put the cartridge together by purchasing the components and using a device with a lever on it for completion, and I used to experiment on occasion, too.
