So I was reading a thread on another forum which I still think many should read on bullet stability in terminal performance and stumbled across an interesting statement.

"I hope that someday I will have to eat crow when it comes to tipped bullets. I am not holding my breathe." 😂😂😂😂

Can anybody guess who? And no, not the Canadien Rock band from 70's.
 
We should bring that discussion over for refresher and it has a kot if really good information on effect of SG on terminal performance versus ballistic performance.
 
Here's a older one that was transferred from old forum.

Stability Factor and BC

(Originally posted 1/1/2022) harperc Global Moderator I read quoted (Not Lytz) that a change in SF say from 1.5-1.3, a 0.2 change would cost you 6% in BC. Actual twist difference between stated, and measured, of 0.25 twist seems common. This variance comes within the 0.2 change mentioned...

Energy use and distribution

(Originally posted 10/7/2021) jamesmuhlbeier Full Member I think we can all agree hammers act and perform different than anything else out there. It seems like we have found a new level of that when everybody started going even lighter than before. I have been sitting back and wondering as of...

This was over at LRH that I was referring to by Steve:

These are Steve's comments associated with the thread that are bit different than discussion of BC and RPM's. This entire thread was bit more on effect of SG on terminal performance versus ballistic performance. It was one of the better bullet discussion threads in a while.

Didn’t someone hack your account or impersonate you over there before?

No that was at Hunt Talk. Someone created an account to impersonate me. Some guys put me onto to it pretty fast since that pos scammed some guys there. @mtmuley was one that gave me heads up. Randy Newberg could not believe what and how the guy did it. I was able to track him easily. Chicago suburb. Didn't even try to hide. Nothing lost on my part except for really ticking me off.
