[QUOTE="nralifer, post: 2890996, member: 94556"] Catch 22 has the right idea. He recognized the effect of the material the bullet is made of as well as construction as related to penetration. Additionally he recognizes how the partioning of the lead core with a two compartment jacket improves penetration. Bonding is better than no bonding but I have used Sirocco bullets, which are not partitioned, with disappointing results (poor penetration). Have had the same complaint from members of the Rocky Mountain Elk foundation using other bonded high BC bullets. Apparently the bonding failed. I have done a lot of gel testing in 10% gel. It is an OK first approximation of post impact behavior, but it is easier on the bullet than an actual animal. It is a good medium to test expansion at low speed though. [/QUOTE]
