[QUOTE="B-LOT Banga, post: 2087386, member: 106734"] I just explained this to my son this past weekend. Imagine being hit by plastic BB from an air soft gun at 600 FPS, then take a steel bb from a air rifle at the same speed 600 FPS. We all know the steel bb is going to hurt more because it’s heavier and more energy is stored that makes it want to keep going. But for a bullet even the same exact brand and design both would act differently because of mass, diameter, length, etc that would make one heavier and one lighter. My idea of a perfect bullet.... use a Nosler partition core with a VLD tip or ELD plastic tip. It would still expand at longer distances but still hold up on that 50 yd shot through bone at high velocity. This is just my opinion, I might be wrong or crazy lol but I’m not tying to start any drama. Aloha [/QUOTE]
