I literally built this AR10 358 Win for the massive 4mm HP of the 203 Shock Hammer. I knew I was going to love this bullet.
Sun and lighting was in perfect position to catch all the damage and massive bubble affect/effect of the bullet impact.
Slow motion was not the best but the still frames taught me a lot.
Time to go shoot some bacon!

 
That long piece of clay reaching out in slo mo looks like a tongue of animal hanging out in same shot conditions! I think you really hit upon great testing medium!

How about this thought? Leather, layer of clay, open space like an empty milk jug (representation of lung space), another layer of clay then box of sand as final backstop?

🤷🏻‍♂️
 
Well done. Great work !
Excellent way to trap a Shock Hammer.
Much more efficient than doing a necropsy on a 3000-pound bull giraffe
that dropped to one shot with the 404-gr SH from a .458 WinMag.
Buddy Jerry left some ammo behind with his PH,
after he killed cape buffalo with one shot of same load, dropped dead right there, on the spot where he was shot.
The PH was impressed.
He was impressed with the way the Shock Hammer worked on a giraffe too.

Your 52% weight retention on the 203-grain/.358 Shock Hammer's remnant FN penetrator is similar to
McCourry Institute of Ballistics testing (Michael McCourry of B&M fame.)
That showed about 54% weight retention on the 404-grain/.458 Shock Hammer in wet paper test media.
I suspect the abrasiveness of the sand might have removed a few grains more, heh-heh-heh.

That remnant FN penetrator goes deep.
Exited cape buffalo.
Recovered from bull giraffe.
Both DRT.
Death Star of shrapnel in the heart and lung region does have quite an effect.
