whitearrow,
Yeah, it's a blast (literally) to shoot a bunch of different stuff with expanding big game bullets!
However, my reliance on newspaper comes from several years of trying different kinds of "media," including bones, ballistic gelatin, wax, etc. etc. So far I haven't found anything else that provides as good a prediction of weight retention and relative penetration when hitting heavy bone in actual animals. I always reserve my final judgment on field results, but so far results from DRY newspaper have never let me down.
