Guy, my post had nothing to do with yours nor was it in response to yours. It was just a small piece of information for Ian and others to remember when interpreting the results. All I am saying is that sometimes it is helpful to actually know something about penetration tests before running them.
Sorry, if them being close together gave the wrong appearance.
So do you feel that Ian and others who try to draw results from bullet testing in paper or water... are not getting useful information?
I have done quite a bit of very unofficial bullet testing and feel that some very useful conclusions can be reached about how a bullet will perform. The consistency of opening and not completely failing or flattening to much will tell you a lot about how well it will hold together on an animal. Real animal testing is still by far the best but I feel better about seeing how a bullet performs on h2o ... before taking it in the field. Dean
BuffaloBob - naw, my poor tired ol' gray matter was just trying to get a handle on all that you had to say!
I just shoot 'em into water jugs and see how far they go & what they look like afterwards. Then I try to go nail an obliging critter with 'em. I sure shot a lot of critters long before I started getting interested in what the bullets looked like after they hit... Now I have something fun & interesting to do with all those milk jugs the kids go through!
