I should have expanded my post.

Phone books, Wet or dry are not a good test medium for bullets, either to see how far they go
or to see what they look like.

They are not representative of animals bone or flesh, regardless of what you put in front, in the middle
or at the back (IE where people put a rubber sheet at the front)

Phone books are much better at holding a bullet together than the soft flesh of an animal where
bits of the bullet (if that is the case) tend to go in all directions.

Hunting Bullets should be tested on animals etc for the specific task of recoveries
so you can see what happens with various shots:- ie
- Shoulder BLADE shot
- Shoulder JOINT shot
- Rear end "Texas Heart" shot so it hits the spine
- Neck Shot so it hits the spine
- 5th rib to far Shoulder shot

If all the above are done at various velocities, you get a very good indication
of what a bullet is doing and what it's Impact Parameters are.

Your thoughts ?
