[QUOTE="nralifer, post: 2696920, member: 94556"] The case is a 7 mm Sherman Short and the bullet is our 160 gr .284 SBD2. All the Bulldozer hunting bullets have the same hollow point configuration. The pics show 2 .308 BD2’s expansion after hitting the 10% gel at just below 1700 fps with the new hollow point. The pic with the white background is our 150 gr .308 BD2 having impacted the 10% gel at various speeds. Notice there is still expansion well below 1700, but it is mediocre. We advise not to take shots where the impact velocity is expected to be below 1700 fps. In the real world, the BC of those bullets is high enough that at an MV=2900-3000 the distance where the bullet is expected to slow to around 1700 is usually 900-1200 yds depending on altitude and barometric pressure. The point of all this is that the effective envelope of our hunting bullets is so broad that all one has to do is point and shoot. If placement is good then the animal will die quickly an painlessly. Better than freezing or starving to death or falling victim to a pack of Coyotes or Wolves and being eaten half alive which is the more “natural” way of death in the wild. [/QUOTE]
