[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1235695, member: 7999"] Hey Jeff, I never said that field data is useless. I did say that the physical science backs up my position. There is not any physics that I know of that backs up frangible bullets as a better option to high weight retention hunting bullets. I could have 100% success on hundreds of animals using fmj bullets and claim that they are the best option for me. That would be field experience not backed up by physics. I am open to learning how a highly frangible bullet will out perform a weight retention bullet designed to deform shot to shot at different impact velocities. I will market a bullet like this. As I said before I will not take a bullet to market that has a higher potential for failure. As far as field data goes, we use field data all the time to make decisions on our bullet design. Data from shooting media and animals. We use this data along with the science to get our end product. .338 300g bullets and bigger are big enough to make up for inadequate bullet performance. Size does matter.:D Steve [/QUOTE]
