    Am I the only one that think that performance is rubbish? Or am I expecting to much?

    I mean that projectile has lost more than half of its weight!! The last projectile I recovered and weighed was a 130gn Speer shot out of a 7mm-08. Taken from the shoulder of a Red Stag. It had mushroomed well and weighed 123 grains. So going through the animal it held together and only lost 7 grains of weight.

    So this sort of set the benchmark for me as Speer are not in the top lot of favourite or expensive projectiles. So I thought if they can do it surely all the fancy expensive ones should be able to do the same.
