FMJ yaw and upset performance

[stanc]

There's a whole lot of sound fiscal, marketing, and reputation needs that promote a certain reluctance to prematurely test or to release the results of development testing.

Oh, balderdash. (Always wanted to use that word. )

There's no such thing as premature testing. Testing is necessary to either validate the design, or show the need for changes.

If (as Bill noted in the quoted post above) terminal performance is a concern, they will have to conduct gel tests anyway. I see no reason to not publish the results just as they did a few years ago with the developmental 123gr Sierra MatchKing.
