[QUOTE="varmintH8R, post: 908201, member: 39801"] The way I read (posts 39 and 41 I think, I'm not taking notes), MC states that the published lower expansion velocities do not hold up to his testing in calibrated gelatin. Because of this, he can make the blanket statement that hunting bullet manufacturers routinely claim expansion at velocities that don't even expand in gelatin. A few posts later, you challenge his testing and say conditions might not be the same, and thus you don't buy in to his claim I never see where MC stated bullet mfgs don't test - he says that when he tests the results aren't even close. Assuming he is using calibrated gelatin and tracking velocity accurately, I'm not sure how his parameters could create such different results. I think based on his testing, his opinion is fair and to him can be taken as "fact". If you disagree with his testing being a viable comparison to what bullet manufacturers publish for low velocity expansion limits, you are already on record as saying so and it becomes an "agree to disagree" discussion from there.
