the Nosler penetrates as far as the brass bullet, plus it has a far greater 'shock' effect. The Gold Dot, and the xtp don't penetrate as far, but they sure blew water and pieces of jug all around the area. The XTP, Gold Dot, and Nosler all shredded the jugs, and made quite a show; not so the brass bullet.
This to me is the best statement made throughout the test. It really would have been nice to have pictures of the disassembled bottles, after math of each test. Or even better yet a video of the whole sha-bang... So all you would have to do invest some more time and money!!! but really i for one really appreciate your tests and your verbal descriptions.
Reading your words for what they say - i really wish the Lehigh would have made a bigger splash. Hopefully this upcoming elk hunting season will be the definetive/final test for me. I have been a lifelong Nosler shooter...
