Taj, I’d love to try some phone books, but they are an “endangered species” with the advent of cell phones, ect. Plus, around here I...

If you get a chance, take a look at Garrett Ammo's web page. Randy Garrett did a paper on penetration and velocity. Randy is a...

Agreed! In talking with several times with John Linebaugh, he through extensive testing, determined that a slower moving hard cast...

Actually, I think you'll be surprised at the penetration at a lower velocity. I've used Keith style 290gr hardcast SWC and they were...
