Terminal Performance Evaluations
All sporting rounds were tested not only for performance on target but also for performance in target. This took the form of firing through a potato placed in front of a bullet trap. Impact action as well as penetration were noted and recorded. Recovered bullet weights and expanded bullet diameters were also recorded and made part of the evaluation cards for each sporting round tested. cc
In addition, special testing was performed using a consistent ballistic media to evaluation wound channels and impact characteristics of many of the popular field use rounds in .22 long rifle, magnum, and the .17 calibers. Even .22 Short got its turn. vv
