[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 907783, member: 48043"] The biggest problem with marketing claims is that they are generalized for all the bullets in a certain flavor. I don't expect a 22-24cal bullet to act the same way as a 7mm or 338 in the same lineup. Minimum impact vel. is always going to be a theoretical; it depends largely on what you hit on the critter... a shoulder or other bone hit will open a bullet that a rib hit may not. I do wish they would stop using theoretical bc #'s and shoot the bullets to obtain bc; it would surely separate the wheat from the chaff a bit better. [/QUOTE]
