i like pictures of bullets and how they shoot out of different guns..
maybe we could start a topic at top of forum that would stay there for all to see when they want..

i think you guys that do a lot of testing etc need a place for these photos and info .


cayugad,chap, sabot others always have pictures and info.


would be nice to have that info quick at TOP so it can be obtained.

maybe someone can do this, i dont know yet how to put a picture onhere or i would start it.
Over on Doug's Savage Forum the top link to a "Tips and Hints" page that takes you to a page of "saved threads" about bullets, sabot, bullet performance, scope, powders, loads, etc. See here:

That would be interesting, this is one of the forums that does not have any thing where information can be locked in. Perhaps one of the moderators can step in and tell us if this is possible with the set up here. Lee

I am a huge fan of barnes bullets..... Awesome penetration, weight retention, and expansion....Here's a pic of a spitfire 245 gr. which had passed through a yote i shot from my treestand and i was able to see through a fresh snowfall where it hit and recovered my bullet. It preformed flawlessly and retained 100% of its weight even after hitting the ground!

I do wish that we would hear from the moderator on the original subject. I would also be nice if we could have a survey of what people had faith in where bullets are concerned. Rated as in the group that causes the needed results and in a middle group that a few people have problems with and then the group that a lot of people have had problems with. Could also rate them as the most accurate and the best long range. Personally I would rate the all copper the partition and the gold dot in the group with the best terminal results, the SW as the most accurate especially at long range and the PB's as causing the most lost deer[ its not that they wont kill a deer at the proper range for 75 gr and so forth its that people expect to be able to shoot them with any load that's accurate and they will shoot accurate with enough powder to make the detonate.

Here are some additional pics of recovered bullets. The Barnes Tipped MZ is on the left (250gr.) I shot a doe @ 100 yds. with it, quartering away shot, retrieved just under the skin on the opposite side of which i had shot her, blew through the shoulder on the entrance side, she had droppedin her tracks. The bullet kept 100% of its weight and weighed in @ 251gr. due to the meat still stuck to the bullet, the polly tip was found in the pool of blood below her.
