[QUOTE="rjmarine, post: 1205132, member: 30201"] oh yes those good old numbers on paper :rolleyes: i am not a big fan of published numbers that most of the time do not cross over into real world results . this is why i do a lot of bullet testing for things like how well they group in the rifle i plan to use them in and also how well they open or dont open in my test media. this testing also takes place at yardages i plan to use these bullets at. i do this by placing my test stand at say 400 yrds then shoot it and inspect the bullet to see just how well it opens and how well it penetrates into the test media. the results i get back are real world which i trust a lot more then numbers printed on paper based on computer generated models. this form of testing may not work for those that like paper numbers but they have served me well over the yrs and to date zero loss of animals i am hunting . case in point look up what an 80gr TTSX leaving at 3100 fps is doing at 472 yrds and just how much energy it has . those numbers will show it could not even take a rabbit at 472 yrds let alone a big bull tahr. after seeing it first hand and seeing what the bullet did and how well it opened up i would take that same shot again and not even think twice about it :D [/QUOTE]
