[QUOTE="Tumbleweed, post: 1402682, member: 9281"] I have personally tested it at a muzzle velocity of 3200fps and at a range of 200 yards with an impact velocity of 2950fps. I ran it head to head with my beloved 230 Hybrid target and the 225 ELDM for comparison. My intent was to simulate an elk shoulder with the setup being a half gallon of water followed by a 2x and then several more gallon jugs of water. It performed awesome showing Berger like fragmentation but still able to penetrate well. It performed just as well when I removed the board to simulate a softer, armpit shot. Again it fragmented impressively but penetrated deep as well. I would not hesitate for a second to use this square on an elk shoulder or armpit at this range. The big test for me will be the slow speed impact test down in that 1500-1600fps range. I’m picking up some Trailboss today and hope to have that test complete in the next week. [/QUOTE]
