Thoughts on possibility the brush in front of the elk at the shot could have had something to do with tumbling?

Edit: the was addressed in part by offset from reticle in the other thread.

Yes sir. As well, the entrance hole was a perfect little knitting needle.

@Formidilosus Is your barrel a 7, 7.5 or 8tw? Wondering if a higher stability from a 7tw 6cm (mine) would keep these from tumbling. Would going up in elevation, theoretically improving stability, possible neuter the chance of tumbling for most setups?

Hello sir, I am not hear to advertise, I am responding to claims about our bullets and educate on them. I would not be here otherwise.
Hi,

Just want to thank you for wading into this conversation and for continuing to post information despite the sometimes negative responses.

You are brave to walk into a Rokslide crowd that is largely anti on lead-free.

As someone who has made the decision to shoot lead-free bullets I have been searching for valid field and gel testing data on bullets. It appears to me that none of the smaller makers (hammer, lehigh defense, you, DRT) have shared much of that data and I believe most dont have. Hammer has stated they just test in milk jugs for example.

I do agree with others who have posted that this Rokslide group is generally trying to get to the facts unlike other groups. So please stick with it.

Please continue to share! And for one, I dont care if your bullets are yawing, exploding or doing jumping jacks as long as they consistently make big wounds. I look forward to seeing more.

DO

1:7.5” IIRC.

There is not enough difference in RPM between 7.5 and 7 to mean much.

So instead of disputing the "wild ass guess" claim you've quoted, you cite your proof by posting a screen shot of some random dude's text message? Got it. That instills tremendous confidence.

Man, several genuine semi-technical questions have been asked here that really could've helped give you positive exposure, yet you instead have chosen to be evasive in your responses. Which indicates to a possible customer you are either being aloof for whatever reason, or genuinely do not know important technical aspects of the very product you are selling. You could have the best new bullet on the market, but you certainly are not doing your company any favors by dodging questions and posting anecdotes instead of direct answers.

The weird thing is he likes the post but then ignores it. What a weird guy, seems to know next-to-nothing about his product.

Probably he orders off Temu and resells

Well this totally settles it, thanks!
That was my text on the initial testing of 195s out of my 30 Nolser +P.

Sam, I rarely say things for no reason. When I get to UM and look at the notes, I will post why I said it was a WAG on the BCs, what I observed on the two animals I witnessed getting shot with the 125s, and why I bought the 93s from you for Form to test.

Thank you for the clarity Ryan. Hope all is well. Good to hear from you.
