I can think of 3 publications that say Elvis is still alive living with Morrison from the Doors. Don't mean I have to believe everything I read. I mean as a scientist, there is scientific basis why one bullet will deflect more than the other in certain media, same as light from lasers that I work with will do the same with different data rates and output powers.

I take publication with a grain of salt these days. One day you got John Barshness saying the Nosler PT will outpenetrate anything, then you got another editor from another saying the opposite, then you find out that Barshness is basically hugely in bed with Nosler helping them develop BT for bullets in the 358 caliber, on and on. I am just using him as an example, and he is one of the most well know hunting writers of this day. Best thing a person can do is read several sources and try it out yourself.

Fizzellr, not bashing on ya and do enjoy your posts. I am just making a point from a science point of view and a huge sceptic. I learned the hard way on a buck with bow on Saturday evening about this deflection, that its not good with any bullet or arrow. Took a risky shot past a trig in my way and paid the price of it. At least, I didn't hit him with a bad shot.
