As for the article, the synthetic may in fact be softer, but that article is going on 5 years old, mentions the supplier will be making adjustments to ensure it’s closer to 10% and he will follow up, then in 5 years no follow up article? For something so widely used today, nothing more recent is available?
There are a lot of shooters like me that look for good performance when conditions aren’t ideal, so I don’t feel bad whatsoever pointing out apparent weaknesses in bullet performance when used at extreme edge of acceptable velocity.
Apparent weakness? If you do not understand the subject- and you do not, why are you pontificating about it? Ask questions instead of giving answers.
Your beloved Partitions often do not upset at 1,800fps impact in clear gel- or at 2,000fps, yet they do in organic gel and tissue. Clear ballistics gel does not correlate to calibrated organic gel or tissue- it is used by the lazy and clueless. Water is a significantly better indicator of potential bullet upset than clear gel if someone is not going to use organic 10%.
