    Ask him to peel it out and stick a caliper on it. My guess is 147gr. 9mm or 180gr. .40. I think a 10mm would have more penetration, but it's a guess.

    Tell him to keep it as is, just get a rough idea. It looks cool, no need to destroy it for verification.

    Really? A wood category on Jeopardy? Was one of the questions 'What is 'I wish it was bigger', Alex'?

    Sorry, getting late here.

    Without something for scale it's about impossible to say anything except that it's a pistol bullet.

    It's like ranging with a scope, you need a known variable. The trim width or nails could be used.
