The LFN's mimic most Keith designs, since most have similar sized meplats and case intrusion, both of which respond with mild to wild loads. FWIW, the holes in and out with the Keith look like paper punch holes...the LFN's at the same speed don't leave holes any bigger.
If the LFN mimics the "Keith" design, then it probably isn't really a Keith bullet -- that term is misused more than "LBT-style." The 429421 has a rather smallish me plat and it shouldn't be expected to produce as big a wound channel as a real LFN. Also haven't found the LFN to be velocity dependent to produce a good would channel. IMHO.
Why can't we discuss this without the combativeness?
Wtf Whitworth? Post count does have meaning and when you try to equate yourself to another member because you've "been here" (another thing that most decry as having no meaning) almost as long, but the other dude has ten times as many posts, it means he's probably "here" more than you. Get it? Or not. You just seem to attract more clowns than a three ring circus too. "Mikewriter" another dude that has been here like two or three years and for some reason has me on ignore. Anyway, have a nice day discussing meplats and comparing who has killed the most civet cats.
No, it doesn't -- let me rephrase that, it counts to folks with high post counts. It only means that you (or someone else) feels the need to weigh in on many topics. It means you feel you have to share your opinion whether or not you have something to say or add. That is what it means. My post count doesn't reflect my time here. I just don't post unless I feel I have some value to add. That doesn't mean I don't come here to see what is being discussed. This is where you and I differ the most. I am not going to waste much time talking about BS as quite frankly not only do I not have the time (typically), but I don't have the desire to weigh in.
I cannot and do not have control over who posts on this forum or anywhere else. Why are you taking cheap shots at Mike? Because he has only been here a couple of years his opinion is suspect? This hierarchy you are trying to create based in post count is precisely the type of BS that keeps many would-be productive posters away from so many forums. Don't equate your propensity to spew incessantly with credibility, because I can assure you they are unrelated.
Your last snide remark brings us almost back on topic, which was the .44 Mag versus the .45 Colt - FOR HUNTING. Weigh in -- if you can. No one is measuring animal body counts (is that like post counts, Ethan?), but nose profiles and bullet types -- weigh in if you have something to add. But if you don't you probably will anyhow as you can add to your post count.
