[QUOTE="MuleHunter, post: 670160, member: 14190"] Well it accomplishes two curiosities of mine. The success of the non pointed is well documented, so I figure if I use that as a control test for the ballistic gel, if the pointed bullets perform similarly I'll know i'm good to go for hunting with pointed bullets. Second is that there seems to be a lot of controversy over ELR hunting. The popular opinion is that a bullet needs to be traveling at 1,600-1,800 fps to be effective. I think that number may have been generated from a theory without actual testing. As far as I know no one has tested the terminal performance of these bullets at ELR. There are documented kills for sure but it will be interesting to see the gel test and the effect of pointing them. After testing them, if they perform acceptably I plan to start a thread called "The ELR Challenge" where I am going to set up my target board beyond 1,000 yds with a target of a full sized mule deer buck and challenge myself and everyone else to make 3 cold bore hits on target. I don't want to do it to be argumentative but only to satisfy my curiosity and challenge myself. [/QUOTE]
