RE: Bullet Question
Drillingman,
I agree with you to a point. However, I'm sure the test performed at 20' approximates magnum velocities at a little over 100 yards, so in that respect the test have more weight than I think you're giving it. I do agree that it doesn't address the question of much higher velocities at the same distance. I put the info in the thread to help those who may have a question on a fairly new bullet. I remember how hard it was for me to get information on reloading when I was new at it. If we old farts don't try to help the younger ones, then we're not worth having around.

BUT, one thing you didn't take into account is, the same bullet out of a magnum is "spinning" faster, and that affects how a bullet expands too. Long ago i did some test on that, as i think it was John Wooters that pointed out to me that the spin "also" affects bullet performance... Anyway, it did seem to matter in my test...
