scotland rifles Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Bob, while the test is interesting, it doesnt take into consideration live prey. If you head shoot a rabbit.....9/10 it will expand the ammo, usually with "icky" results........... If you shoot it in the body, it becomes a lottery, i.e if you hit it in the chest front on you are likely to hit rib cage....hit it further back and its likely to zip straight through as there are no bones or organs hard enough to cause the expansion. Hit it in the leg and the leg will be removed!! How many people have taken head shots (with the exception of the 20gr fmj) and NOT had an expansion? you are correct of course. as you say sometimes it looks like the 17 has passed them buy, and others it looks like the mincer machine has gone over them, the test was just to compare the 2 ammo types against the same target IE: compact paper ream. and it does show a difference all be it a to a untrained eye, it can still be seen that the red appears to open faster than the blue, we need some ballistic jelly and a test lab.................................. but who cares dead is dead after all. bob.

njc110381 Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 I always got on great with the Remington gold tipped ammo. That was all I ever used in my HMR from day one because it was accurate and worked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
