All good points, Jeff.
In the past I have pointed out that a number of bullets have been "designed" for hunting big game that didn't work worth a hoot, because the designers apparently didn't actually test them on game. Instead they only shot them into test media that tends to produce perfect "mushrooms," no matter how the bullet's designed.
The design of some other bullets was pretty good, yet due to problems with materials or mass-production compromises the bullets didn't work very well in the real world.
There have also been several bullets designed for hitting targets that turned out to work better on big game than many supposedly "designed" for the job.
