I have had 1 and one only that I have found with paper. Could a random flyer be paper maybe. But that bullet hit the intended target. How many stick I don't know. In almost 10 years I have found one. In all honesty you have a limited knowledge of the bullet and limited testing. A couple weeks ago you were running lead That was way too hard and sticking them in your sizer. I think some of your testing has been under incorrect data.
Bringing up spears, boulders, and boobie traps is not on the topic. The topic is telling 500 s&w bullet. You are trivalizing my accomplishments with that bullet and game. You are trivalizing my work in regards to groups, distance I shoot, and lead hardness testing on game. We are not talking about other methods of legally or illegally killing game. We are only talking about the 500 s&w bullet.
Is there better bullets for game? I don't know but what I do know is I got my first muzzleloader when I was about 10. I have about 42 years of experience in both shooting and killing game.
Does one paper mean a failure? I can't answer that. HaveI lost a game animal with that bullet? NO! Do I think that a stuck paper could cause a miss on an animal? Maybe.
I am being honest in this evaluation.
Will I do more testing to try to determine if they are sticking? I will be looking for signs.
Now, do I think your bullet is a better bullet? I don't know yet. One sub 2" group at 50 yards is not saying much. But that bullet is based off the 500 s&w so I am going to say it has hope. But there are changes to the original and it is only a guess until further testing is done.
I am not arguing that there is not sure better bullet. All I am saying is with your limited testing you are awful quick to say this bullet is a failure and my work with it and game I have shot and others have shot mean nothing.
