[QUOTE="AaronSkipDavidson, post: 1134666, member: 6373"] Maximum distance measured and frequency of measurement would be two valid reasons for using Doppler Radar for measurement and bullet analysis. If you combine that tool with PRODAS and you've got a suite of testing equipment that is hard to beat! With sophisticated equipment, it opens a window of visibility that is quite revealing. I'm unaware of any civilian testing that rivals what I've seen from Hornady. Its good to be skeptical, we should all question the validity of any data presented to us as fact. As a mechanical engineer, I studied material science and fluid dynamics. However, a lot of the understanding these concepts requires needs some pretty serious allocation of mental resources! Here's a simple scenario that can help the skeptics, or guys like me that want to conserve mental resources :) Hornady manufactured a run of 140 Amax bullets and built a portion of them using the new tip material. Then, shot them side by side in the same conditions with the same gun, velocity, etc. The flight behavior Hornady is describing was completely evident by the data collected by the radar. Hornady's testing equipment gives them to ability to really see what the bullet is doing if they are able to avoid any of the potential measurement problems. The comparative analysis of identical bullets that only vary with tip material is a great way to filter out potential errors, and demonstrate the tip melting phenomena. It wasn't that long ago that people "knew" the world was flat... [/QUOTE]
