[QUOTE="fordy, post: 2330609, member: 120504"] Ok going on the twist theme & spinining Also tumble [SIZE=14px]Right, a high SG is always desirable. And it’s nice that you can get such a high SG with solids compared to some cup and core bullets.[/SIZE] Pic of the one circled in blue is the true tumble as the one that went through the horn in red Apart from a true solid most pills will fail to stay straight if even get to the vitals & I’ve even seen true solids fail miserably Back to the one in blue This pill was extremely accurate & no signs of instability on paper SF right on the 1.5 Moved to little critters 1 to 5lbs chest width upto 3 inches to se if a pencil would occur No pencil but on animal preformance while looked impressive the actual time impact to tipping was dismal actually really dismal Now move to the one that was recovered in blue circle & that was the result with tumbling occurring very quickly in its travel & could be tracked easily This was replicated again on tumble in next animal so that combo was packed up & moved to the next batch for testing What we’ve found by increasing sf to @ least 2 ( more is desirable we believe) the problem is going away Now you say the petals should be twisted on Barnes if this was the case Like this you mean I’ve seen it heaps & the best one was from a ginger springbok yes a Barnes stopped in a springbok believe it or not & it wasn’t a tailpipe shot ( I’ll see if I can find it ) SF on this one out of a Rusa deer was just over 3 & my springbok was nearly 5 Yes I accept different resistance but IMO on the shear numbers I’ve seen this on , it’s a pattern that’s happening [ATTACH type="full"]309511[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]309512[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
