[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 128, member: 34"] Hello I think the problem when trying to duplicate tissue penitration when testing bullets is, it is hard to make the test unless like material is used as compared to "Living" tissue. The bullet will react differently to most any substance. We have found that, jeletin is a very good material to make a close test as to the living tissue on an animal. We know that, ANY bullet going into bone will react in a different way as compared to going in between the ribs on one side of the animal and exiting the other side in the SAME fashion. Will the bullet expand in this senario? The answer to this question in my experiance, is yes, with the Matchkings. We have never had a problem with Matchkings expanding on game. We have recovered only two bullets inside of elk over the years. Out of 20 elk (at least) this is quite good considering they were all killed in excess of 1000 yards and the exit holes were unbelieveable. It didn't seem to matter where they were hit. The shoulders, rib cage, top of the back or neck, the exit hole was huge. The two Matchkings that we recovered were peeled back perfectly with about 3/4 of the lead still intact. The bullets penitrated the far shoulder (in both instances) and were found just under the skin on the far side of the animal. Just some added information concerning bullet reaction on live tissue that my hunting friends and I have found over the years. DC [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
