[QUOTE="CrankyYankee, post: 2251631, member: 90145"] Exactly my point BallisticsGuy. I've participated in alot of Terminal Ballistics research back in my days behind a long gun. We (especially lawyers) never liked how unpredictable/inconsistent bullets reacted to Animal carcasses. 10% Ballistic Gel gave us a consistent medium as close to a human as possible. Problem is.... animals are not 10% Ballistic Gel. Hit a shoulder bone, hit a rib, or miss a bone completely and only hit soft tissue, will give completely different results with the same bullet. Then add that some people want 2 holes, some want the bullet to stop and dump all it's energy, some want to minimize meat damage, some people miss their mark, and animals move. All of that makes predictability/reliability very difficult. Which is why I've gotten away from things like ft lbs of energy and simplified like above. Sorry OP if this is not going the way you intended. Still trying to figure how fuzzy I want to get with the onion. Edit... Muddyboots beat me to it while I tried to shorten my response. [/QUOTE]
