Im just fine with a bullet coming apart quickly in gel and dumping its energy.
Thats not at all WHY I switched to the fusion/gold dot type bullet.
My 10.5" SBR is my go to gun. The loss in velocity of a 10.5" barrel REALLY reduces the range that you will get reliable fragmentation. Switching to a bullet that relies more on mushrooming and deforming the tip to transfer energy really opens up that range. Supposedly the Fusion will "open up" down to around 1700fps. I believe(I dont have access to my chrono data) that pushes my effective distance out to 150-175 yards where with a projectile I have to rely on fragmentation to work is only like 75-100 yards out of the 10.5" gun.
uh, arent we talking about the jackets here?
I'll be trying these on deer here in the next month. I got 5 tags so looking forward to seeing the results.
