My goal is to help develop a bullet that will reliably expand at subsonic velocities. I would like it to be as heavy as possible to aid in penetration. As far as testing goes we all have our preferences, but I test every bullet I shoot. I like wet newsprint and wet clay. It gives me an idea of what the bullet does at different densities. For instance I've seen numerous 240 MK's drive strait though three feet of newsprint and never tumble. Every time I put one in clay it ends up on its side. Wet newsprint works great for high velocity stuff, but subsonic stuff seem to react in a different manner. I also like to look at the wound channel volume and the position of the bullet after it comes to rest. Water bottles do not allow for this. Of course the only perfect material is a deer. They don't sell them at Walmart. I may be working on this until Obama's civilian army comes knocking on my door, but I well get this done.
