[QUOTE="barnesuser28, post: 1708821, member: 43468"] Hello everyone, it has been awhile! I am planning on doing some large scale bullet testing and need some input. I am planning on testing primarily bullets intended for long range hunting/shooting so most of the heavy weight Bergers, CE, Barnes LRX, Hornady ELD-M/X, Nosler LR accubonds, and more. I will be testing with 10% ballistics gel and using a specialized high density foam that is designed for testing in the medical field to simulate bone. I am wondering at what impact velocities you would like to see tested. I think the high end for most people shooting heavy-for-caliber bullets will be around 2500-2700 fps impact velocity. I think other valuable testing velocities would be 2200 fps, 1800fps, and 1600fps. Does this seem like a reasonable range for testing that would be helpful for many in the long range hunting crowd? Thanks for any input! [/QUOTE]
