Show the wound channels in the gel.

Why compare the 190gr VLD to the 212 ELD. 210gr VLDs are a thing.

I suspect the ELD-X is a fine bullet but the test was set up to favor that bullet by not showing the wound channels and purposely picking a lighter weight, lower BC VLD.

Many here know I have been a fan of the VLD so this might my bias showing. grin


Yeah, the 210gr LRAB would have also been a good comparison to the 212 ELD.

Starting velocities would have been interesting to see.

Also seems like in a controlled lab/range one could set up a chrono with bullet deflectors and directly obtain velocity at range, instead of using a Doppler radar - but that may be a non-issue.

I'm working up loads with a .300 RUM, so it is interesting and timely to at least know what expands at range.
