More FPS does not always add more penetration. Especially with lead hollow points.

Ron is not sponsored by anyone. His test is a simple comparison of a variety of bullets in the same media. He isn't trying to sell bullets for himself or anyone else.

I did not say it was not ok or ok. I stated simple facts about the WHC test.

Did you see a a fps at impact listed by WHC and can you think of any reason why they would use a pistol for the test? I think its safe to assume the vast majority of hunters wont be using a pistol with 80gr or Pyrodex.

The slow motion video clearly shows a poor temporary disruption in the gel. Its far more pronounced in the Barnes video.

Now with that said, if you want to use the 300gr Aerolite at a greatly reduced speed, you will likely have better luck with it vs the 250gr at any speed.
