I was suprised at the poor performance of some of the bullets, including the Lehighs. Not sure why they are designed to perform like they do.

The Deep Curl's puzzled me big time. The 240's did AWESOME... the 250 & 180....wow. Interstingly...both the bad ones were exactly the same bullet design. On the 240, the copper jacket fully wrapped the hollow point...on the 250 & 180, it only partially folded over into the hp. You can see the difference. I was shocked actually.

Really, imo....most of the bullets had satisfactory performance, obviously some better than others. With the exception of the last 5...I wouldn't hesitate to use any of them based on our test.

Hope you guys enjoy....and thanks again for all the help! My son was amazed at how you guys stepped up to help out some kid you don't even know

Funniest thing of the project...I didn't say anything when he went to shoot a bullshop. It walloped him, and he was like "what the heck!" From then on he knew what to expect from the big bullets

(now for some healthy discussion...)
