2016/17 joint agency ballistics test for defensive handgun ammunition

Thank you, sir.

I would rather not deem respectable people—like Weatherby—liars who had no choice but to rely upon the immature state of the science/technology of their time.

Well put Sir. Add to this quality of bullet design of that bygone era and you get 'sploder bullets that make huge entrance holes and tiny (if any) exit wounds and we have the stuff legends are made of.

Sometimes, depending upon their velocity, they would never even make it to the target.

As a teenager, I'd spend hours poring over the Weatherby catalogues. Those rifles were beautiful. Cartridges like the .240 Weatherby Magnum and Remington's .30-06 ''Accelerator'' always held me in fascination, too. After Dad passed just a few weeks ago, I was cleaning out some of his older literature and stumbled across a large stack of them from various manufacturers including Weatherby (mostly from the early-1970s) in perfect condition. Many memories within them, they reside in my bookcase now. They're a nice bridge to the past that I plan on visiting soon.
