So I recently decided to do a quick 1 shot water jug expansion test on my backup carry ammo and this is what I came up with: Expanded from 10.15mm to 17.28mm.

This is the silver and blue box from Walmart, No. XM40HA.

How many water jugs did you use? Did you cover them with any fabric?

Is that the stuff labeled as low recoil? Could you notice any difference between it and other ammo you've fired?

That expansion is pretty impressive. Thanks for sharing.

Not labeled as low recoil but it is very manageable.
