They don't look as pampered when they almost go the entire animal....
...and I missed out on the BHN figures, meplat size and impact speed courses. 12 BHN is plenty hard, especially when kicked out of a 4" 44, 1,200 fps. at a deer 30 yards away.
6 isn't at 900 fps with a flat face.
I would be really unhappy if my bullet's nose got mangled like that and it wasn't a hollow-point. How hard (or soft) is that bullet? How can you tell the shoulder is engaging when the bullet looks like that, or am I missing something?
This was just to show what I think of "ballistic gel".
Its really a 7 BBHN nose with a 28 BHN shank. It performed exactly as I wanted it to.
