[QUOTE="JASmith, post: 1709787, member: 24844"] One important regime to test is the minimum velocity where the bullet will open in soft material enough to be considered useful. That velocity allows one to help determine what the longest range where his or her shot should be taken. Other factors in that determination are calm wind accuracy, and the effects of wind drift, etc. Some view minimum acceptable expansion is 1 caliber at the nose. Perhaps this community can refine that standard. [/QUOTE]
