[QUOTE="CMP70306, post: 1133637, member: 36999"] Let me clarify my previous post. I am grateful that he took the time to test those claims. Coming from an engineering background I too was highly skeptical of the velocity increase touted by the manufacture. Darkker's testing proved that their claims were unfounded and in fact could prove dangerous to a novice reloaded who did not know better. I fully agree that these bullets should be highly scrutinized. If your going to make such outlandish claims to a such devoted group of people like long range shooters then you better **** well deliver. I've never heard of Josh before these bullets so I can not pass judgement on someone I don't know. However if it is shown that these bullets do not live up to the stated performance then we should let people know about it just like what happened with the Nosler LRAB. If I had the ability I would definetly be testing these bullets to see if they lived up to the hype but the 200 yd range I have access to isn't going to show me much. The issue I had was the shot he took at the guy who runs the Precision Rifle Blog. That was were I first heard about these bullets and the article to me was more of a general comparison of the manufactures claims against the proven data of other bullets. I never saw him claim these bullets were the best thing since sliced bread and I didn't see anything that warranted calling him a monkey or a buffoon. His closing statements are that if the claims are true these bullets could be revolutionary however their performance has yet to be proven. If the bullets turn out to be no better than regular bullets then by all means make it well known that the manufacture is way out of line with their claims. In my opinion though I do not see the point in taking jabs at those who are providing information about a new product that has not been fully tested yet. That was the only issue I had with his post, other than that I found it quite informative and look forward to hearing Darkker's experiences after he tests them at long range. [/QUOTE]
