Am I the only one looking at this post thinking, "What the hell is all this pointless rambling"? I believe that I'll take John's side in almost every case (although I'm still not a fan of NBT bullets, but experience is limited to .25 caliber), due to his extensive testing, research, and thoughtful analysis. He also has no problem telling us when he's discovered, through trial-and-error or learning from other professionals in the firearms/ammunition/reloading industries, that what he has thought to be true isn't necessarily so. Guess he never thought of himself as a scientist, but he does use scientific principles to arrive at his conclusions. So, Steve....
