Back some years ago when the infamous Miami shoot out occured which resulted in a 9mm round that failed to penetrate to the heart because it had to pass through an arm and the main trunk of the body a great hue and cry went up for a better police type cartridge. Although the Gov't understood...

As I promised you I got ahold of a copy of the 1983 GunDigest in regards to its evaluation of the Mythical Thompson Tests and here are some shocking facts that prove once and for all how totally invalid the Thompson tests really were. Did you know that only 13 animals were shot and-------...

A fellow shooter showed up today at the range with Winchesters latest variation in the long line of M70 variations. It at first appeared to be the standard post-64 push feed but on close examination it was a new model that was converted to controlled feed with a fixed ejector (not the...

It was a little to late to vindicate my recent post about the Thompson tests in which I was attacked with a ferver by .45 loves that went way beyond religious fanatacism but Jan Libourel states in this very interesting article that---------------------- . He also states that the 30/40...

Yesterday I was shooting an 1895 7x57 Mauser rifle and a 1896 model Mauser rifle with some cast bullet loads that I cooked up. Powder used was 4198 at velocities of around 1700 to 1900 fps. Also some modern high velocity hand loaded jacketed bullets were also tested that also shot some...

My most recent acquisition in the pursuit of excellence was the purchase of the CZ military 98/29 long rifle. This one in 8mm. Although I prefer the 7x57 the 8mm is still a world classic among calibers. The example in question was actually unfired although it was made circa 1930. The...

I was speaking to a stranger at our shooting range yesterday and we were discussing rifles. I mentioned the fact that I had read on the net about a hunter in Africa being killed by an elephant and his rifle, which was a Remington 700, was found laying near by with the bolt broken off...

Ok Gents I confess I lifted this post off of another forum so do not flame me. After reading through this info it correlated with some of the test yours truly did over 30 years ago. These tests in no way will settle anything in regards to the debate on expanding bullets but the tests...
