[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 220175, member: 2852"] If you guys recall, I tested the "wet phonebook" and "dry phonebook" test itself several years ago and found the results to the bullet to be almost identical. The wet paper was said to have more of an opening up factor to the hollow points but I proved it negligable and incalculable. Instead of having an opening effect, it simply "spit-wadded" the hollow point and expansion was the same. If anything, the wet phone books provided more penetration because they were so much softer. By using dry phonebooks as my control for all my testing, I can COMPARE one bullet to another and since I have a database of what each bullet did in the same media, I can compare it to known good game bullets and then predict what kind of performance I need in the dry phonebooks at reduced velocities to get good results on game with an unknown bullet.
