[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2251612, member: 63925"] Ballistic terminal performance testing in ballistic gel is a general relative comparison of what a bullet does in a common medium. The problem is when the shot strikes the animal through light bone, heavy bone, odd angle, high adrenalin animal for whatever reason, et al. Bullet velocity, diameter, section density, construction all come to play. I rely more on field observation of a hit, post mortem of the terminal performance and additional input from others experience. I feel strongly every kill should have a detailed post mortem to identify and recognize the terminal performance of the bullet under the conditions you shot the animal. You will learn far more from actual on the ground evidence for future shot decisions. IMO there are far too many variables to conduct an experiment that takes into account ALL potential scenarios of a bullet striking an animal. Bullets do really WEIRD things when they hit resistance in an animal. FWIW IMHO on FGO. [/QUOTE]
