[QUOTE="GSSPatterning, post: 2899563, member: 121232"] Hey, RockyMtnMT, Rant on! I'd sure we'd all like to see your proof that "Barnes on the other hand don't expand well below 2400fps and furthermore in order to generate significant hydrostatic shock (critical for fast killing especially with a monolithic bullet) ideally impact velocity needs to be >2600-2700fps." That is most idiotic mis-statement i've read in a long time. At retirement age i've been around a long time to hear/read some stupid statements but this one is in the top 10. Their are BB's that have minimum impact velocities as high as 2000 fps; 6mm 80 TTSX and 85 TSX, 270 cal 110 TTSX, 7mm 110 TTSX, 30 cal 110 TTSX, 30 cal 150 TTSX. These are this high since the platform they are typically shot from has a high MV and it helps to keep from blowing petals off; not a bad thing by the way. Then, as low as 1100 fps 458 SOCOM 300 gr, 1200 fps 450 Bushmaster 275 gr TSX, 1400 fps 270 cal 139 LRX, 7mm 139 LRX. Most are between 1500 and 1800 fps. Rant off. [/QUOTE]
