terminal ballistics

Just wanted to brag a bit… Another succes in the books, for our whitetail season, for my oldest son, and for the 135gr .308" Apex Outdoors Afterburner. This morning my 13yo boy made a great shot with my coaching and help. A group of does popped out of the woods about 120 yards from us, with a...

As many of you likely know, bullet construction and terminal ballistics is a bit of a fascinating subject to me, and I’d consider it a passion. Several years ago, I started doing my own research on this stuff, and did a few bullet dissections and recorded the construction and composition of...
