[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2468930, member: 109862"] Oh I forgot about those tests haha! I Have indeed read them and given your title I’m not surprised to hear you mention them as well. That was will a ridiculously light bullet and they were studying the behaviour of hypervelocity shrapnel to make better armor if I’m not mistake…a freakishly fast rifle being a better study tool as you can’t tell real shrapnel exactly where to hit. Thanks for the reminder. What I also find interesting is that PO ackleys humorously named .22 eargesplittenloudenboomer (a .22-378) didn’t break 5000 fps. Diminishing returns is real and there’s a line you cross where not only do you gain nothing, you start losing. People humorously or seriously talk about .30-50 bmg or 17s based on huge belted cases…won’t work. Zen’s 17 seems like a well thought out endeavour with a clear goal though. [/QUOTE]
