[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 210956, member: 11717"] I'm not a PHD in physics but I do know the basics. I'm just trying to figure out why hunters in the field are getting different expansion results than the manufacturers in with their test procedures. Nosler advertises an expansion vel of 1800 fps for bith the E-Tip and the AB. In the picture of the E-Tip, we can see it barely opened at 1800. I would think the same would be true of the AB. IF the AB actaully opened at 1600 fps or less, I would think Nosler would advertise that because it would be a good selling point in a competitive market. So my question is, what's the diff? I'm just guessing. The video in the article above is very interesting. Those particular bullets will penetrate steel armor intact but come apart when shot through drywall. One would think just the opposite with a *basic* knowledge of physics. They clain it's about different heat transfer properties. Very interesting. [/QUOTE]
