I found this report to be very interesting, but must admit I have yet to finish reading it. It is very lengthy and goes on to shoot some holes in many of the accepted truths we've come to acknowledge as the truth of terminal ballistics. He also explains the whys of how many myths have come to be accepted. Well worth your time!

Fakler is my hero!
I have been testing bullet performance with my "Fakler Box" for a lot of years. It still doesn't make me a beeter shot but I can select a good bullet so when I shoot I kill what I hit.
