[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 2533137, member: 7999"] I think you are saying exactly the same thing that I am. There is two things that play into low vel impacts for hunting. What the individual is comfortable with and does the bullet actually function down to that stated vel. Low velocity impacts is the only place that we have inflicted our opinion on our customers. We chose 1800 fps as a min impact vel for clean kills. We test down to 1800 fps and have never tried to see how low we can get any of our bullets to function. 1800 is the floor that we personally feel humane kills happen. That said, bigger calibers make bigger holes. After all the testing we have done with low vel, I have a healthy skepticism when bullets are advertised to be good for hunting at very low velocity. Some will say that if the bullet shows the slightest of deformation then it worked. That is why I say test it yourself. I also want to add. Your first lines says we design our bullets for high vel. Yes that is true, but I want to make sure that people understand that they do not need high vel to work. They work very well at low vel. I hope that makes more sense. [/QUOTE]
