[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2649633, member: 87243"] I much prefer animal test vs gel, leather, newspaper, water jugs etc., because though they are meant to simulate an animal, they simply don't. The other media's may perhaps give an idea of one bullet vs another, but they really don't give the same kind of results that actual use on animals do, and can be misleading. We have harvested and documented 25+ animals a year over the last 6-7 years, mainly pronghorn, and also deer and elk. I have learned a lot from that, but the biggest thing is that there is no replacement for on game testing. Also, that while some bullets have generally better performance than others, what is more important (within reason) is good shot placement. A bullet that causes decent damage and average on game performance, placed through both lungs, will kill better than a bullet with phenomenal terminal performance, placed through the lower intestines. On the flip side, same shot placement with both bullets, the one with better terminal performance of course gives a better chance for an easier recovery. Keep up the testing brother, looking forward to more results! [/QUOTE]
