Bonded bullets

It can be done as soon as you know the dimensions and materials of the fragments.

There is an alternative path based on gel and wet-newsprint tests. You will see in the references to the Ideal Bullet Weight paper that an extensive set of tests support the conclusion that penetration in game is largely independent of caliber and impact velocity when the bullet impacts within its design envelope (usually 2,000 to 3,000 fps).

So now velocity and sectional density dont matter..... so a 180gr 338 cal at 2000fps acts the same as 180gr 7mm bullet at 3000..... yea....

This "ideal bullet wieght" paper also says the minimum non bonded bullet weight for coyote Huntin should be 70 gr, wich i find amusing. You can go soak some
Newspapers and shoot them and write an article saying pretty
Much whatever You want. Lots of "papers" contradict this

Who wrote that paper?

I am curious if anyone could prove him wrong, I haven't done any scientific tests, but I would definately think that the 7mm bullet @ 3000 fps or even the same speed as the 338 bullet for that matter, would penetrate deeper than the 338 bullet of the same weight
