Here is something I already posted about this bullet test:

In reply to:

Test medium was recently expired elephants. There is no way to be sure that the internal resistance that one bullet faced was the same as another. One bullet may get a free ride through a large section of lung, while another may hit a rib on the way in. So take the data for what it is - a report of what I saw the bullets do in dead elephants. The sample is not statistically reliable, so next time the NF may out-penetrate the SAF. Perhaps the next guy going over can run another test and let us know. However, the pics of the recovered bullets are interesting.

Also keep in mind that while we want maximum penetration from a solid, we do not necessarily want that in a soft. A soft should open up in time to be have a nice mushroom when passing through the vitals. That bullet may not penetrate as far as one that only mushrooms after it has left the vitals and is travelling in gut. But it may be more lethal.




Guess what bullet I am taking elk hunting this year?

NF softs.
