44 Magnum Almost made it through a 5 inch Beech sapling.

Fiocchi ammo Part # 44A500 with a 240 GRS.JSP fired from a 4" barreled Taurus Tracker 44 from ten yards away.
Almost made it out the other side
Another way to split wood.
Bullet held up pretty good.
Beech is some tough wood.

I shot some Swiss GP-11 into a Beech tree about 10 inches in diameter and it absorbed it with only a tiny hole on the impact side.
It weeped some Sap for a day then sealed off.

The stocks on my Anschutz 54.18's are made of beech.
