[QUOTE="Trigger24, post: 2243128, member: 115591"] Attached is what we like to see for high speed and low speed expansion. We try to keep the petals on if at all possible. This keeps the frontal diameter bigger, and transfers more energy, and causes more damage. This is a little bit less so in the Super Bulldozer line, as the ogives are longer, and thinner, and the bullet is geared toward lower velocity impacts. We still try to keep the petals if we can, but some sacrifices had to be made to get low velocity performance. Now, had you fired these for a 2800fps impact, I would guess all petals would have blown off in spectacular fashion causing a huge channel and incredible energy dump. Unfortunately after that initial dump, the wound channel created by the smooth cylinder of the base is generally small. But any bullet can only take so much abuse. The bullets I've pictured are smaller, easier to contain calibers, fired into 10% gel. And are fairly representative of bullets we've recovered from game animals where there wasn't a major bone impact. Unfortunately this is a pretty rare occurrence, as they don't usually stop, and are not recovered. As far as getting ahold of Badlands, you have my attention. Shoot me a message, and I'll see what we can do. [/QUOTE]
