[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 706462, member: 13833"] Eric.....that was a good explanation! I am glad that you point out 1800' is a bare minimun and is not consistent shot to shot. I have found that in my testing, and hunting, 2200' will probably expand on most any shot. Also, as you point out, "animals are inconsistent media". Every shot on every single type of animal, can be quite different regardless of bullet brand (unless you are using solids):D. What I object to at times on this forum is, there are people who believe that one bullet is good for every animal, at every range, which I know you would agree is foolishness! The bullets that I make are made specifically for long range (low velocity expansion) so I certainly wouldn't recommend them for grizzly bears at 50 yards! My bullets are basically a high b.c., heavy, varmint bullet, which makes them very effective at about 2500' down to 1300'. Keep up the good work....Rich [/QUOTE]
