Interesting idea, testing three different vintages of Golden Saber ammo.

Interesting.  I wasn't expecting that result.  I would be curious to see similar tests with Hornady and Gold Dot.  I don't think I have seen those tested independently.

Interesting - the bullets essentially performed like hardball.

One thing I always thought about - the way the "petals" on the bullets are formed, with a sort of twisting overlap. I wonder if the direction of rifling twist would have any effect on expansion?  ???

 ???  He talks about a "vertical tasting," but then he tests three different loadings. He says they're all the same, but then tells us how they're all slightly different (different OAL, different cavities, etc). So why does he think they're the same?
