FMJ yaw and upset performance

[DocGKR]

["The 6.8 developed much of its reputation based on early gel test photos by Gary Roberts using a preproduction Hornady projectile with an "illegal" preformed cavity at excessive velocity. "

This is NOT a true statement, as I have previously noted. There was a batch of Hornady 115 gr projectiles manufactured AFTER our initial SPC testing in June of 2002 that exhibited a larger than normal cavity--we never saw them, shot them, or tested them at our facility. The early AMU 6.8mm ammo we tested was indeed loaded hot, much like AMU ammo in other calibers...

Below are a couple of 6.8 mm Hornady production OTM shot into bare gel from 100 yds away, MV was in the 2550 fps range (certainly NOT an "excessive velocity")--personally this looks like ideal terminal performance, but hey, what do I know...
