But.....The Can Didn't Move!

[DirtTime]

A couple weeks ago while camping my bro and I decided to plink some cans with my .22LR. Had an issue with some ammo and switched out to different rounds. The can my buddy shot at bounced once when he hit towards the bottom, but the can I was shooting at didn't move. I was like WTF! I know the rifle hasn't been bumped or dropped, so I was baffled.

 

After inspection, I was hitting the can, but it wasn't moving at all.

 

Anyone else ever have this happen?

Yup cans aren't  what the use to be bullet rips through them like paper. I use to love make a tin can jump back up a hill .

I miss that.

 

I was shooting CCI Stingers, and the new cans aren't heavy enough to even make them break up on impact. It was still fun plinking, but not like the old days for sure.
