Verals "test" was to fire into sand, as that has been the test taken at face value over the years.
Ive seen nice round holes through deer lungs that are just like wadcutter holes in paper with the 270 SAA. The Brian Pearce article lists several examples of seeing the same thing, not to mention the bullet's designer describing the same thing.
Ive also seen the original Brenneke slug do the same thing despite having a round button nose for a meplat; in its case, the shoulder is what does the work, since the nose offers nothing.
Most who have used the original Brenneke to any degree know what Im talking about!
