   Magnetite liked post by John Duxbury On thread : Impact joules and ethics

   Energy is no measurement of the terminal performance of a bullet. You might as well measure how much smoke comes out of the barrel. Or how loud the shot is. These things are all measureable, but are...

    That's not just a simple case separation- the base of the case shows classic signs of big pressure. The primer has NO radius left and is pierced. There is a very clear ejector imprint as well. I DEF...
