[QUOTE="eoperator, post: 2406913, member: 120683"] I do not want to ruffle any anti fan boy feathers so criticism only here. My observations of digging bullets from sand backstop (100yrds through cardboard target 1st) is that hammers at or near minimum twist do not always shed petals and penetrate perfectly as over twisted hammers do. It seems as if one petal opens a bit and pulls or bends bullet changing the direction of penetration. I have not seen this at all with hammers 1" over minimum twist. So my question to Steve would be, is this a real issue or is a sand backstop test completely irrelevant? [ATTACH type="full"]330990[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
