[QUOTE="Jclark225, post: 2349759, member: 119738"] Hello, new to this forum and have a question. For those who've tried, how did you test bullet expansion at distance? I've packed newspaper into a tub then soaked with water to try to simulate an animal's body cavity and it worked okay but only for one or two shots before the tub is useless. However I was able to put it out on the range and "catch" my bullets to see how they perform at varying velocities to determine where my max range should be. Sure I can group well at 700 but if the bullets don't expand, it's like hitting them with a field point arrow. (Looking at you Mr. 28 Nosler shooting that elk 6 times from 900) Anyway just wondering what people have tried and what worked. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
