I've got some nice photos of the results. Interestingly, the bullet never appeared to expand at all. Not a scientific study by any means, but I was very suprised at the lack of expansion and the amount of items the round penetrated.
    Please post the pictures!

    You wouldn't happen to have one of the actual bullet, assuming it was pulled out of the second fence, would you? I was hoping to see the deformation or lack thereof, of the projectile.
