[QUOTE="Petey308, post: 2891110, member: 106845"] I have brought up many topics on this subject. Sometimes it’s gone well, being told I’ve made the best post in this forum, while other times I was accused of nefarious intent. I’m not here to impress anyone though, nor am I here to stir any pot and go after anyone or anything. I’ve cut apart a lot of bullets and still have a TON in the shop awaiting time to cut apart. I intend to test them all too on animals, and in controlled media. The controlled media test would simply be a way to compare bullets in a controlled method, but then also show the contrast on game and how other variables can change the results. I’ve tested quite a few on game myself, while others I’ve so far had to settle on close friends or acquaintances to share their details on their experiences. I used to have a lot more time for this stuff before having kids, especially now that my kids are at the ages they take all my free time. I’m happy to put the hunting and bullet testing on the back burner though, as they’re only young once and will be grown and out of the house before I know it. I can always get back to the hunting and testing, I can’t get that time back with them though. At any rate, I do what I can for now, when I can, and discuss and debate when I can, to hopefully learn and share to fill the gaps. I’ve learned a ton already, and I know there’s [B]much [/B]to learn still. Despite what some have concluded, I do keep an open mind and I know all bullets have their place and certain limitations. You mentioned a limitation with yours is that they’re not suitable for home defense. That’s a fine example. Some see the mention of limitations as though it means the bullet isn’t that good in general. It doesn’t necessarily mean that at all. There is in fact no magic bullet, therefore every bullet has limitations. Finding what each one’s strengths and weaknesses are is what it’s all about in order to equip the hunter with the knowledge and resources to set them up best for success. That’s always been my main goal and intent. Again, hopefully this thread matures and we can get some good discussion from it and maybe learn some things without emotions getting in the way. [/QUOTE]
