Definitely nice shooting.
When I was a kid, my shooting pals and I used to try to outdo one another, hitting water bottles at 100 yds, with our .357 and .44 magnums.
One fellow could do it with his .380, but only when he laid down on the bench and turned himself into a rifle.
It would be fun to try it nowadays, but the local range disallows handguns on the 100 yd range, thanks to some dummies missing the backstop, and sending rounds out of the park.
