Jerry, much of what's been passed here is in subjective terms (less wind drag, more energy, less resistance, complete penetration through the animal?).

It would be good to see the inventor's tech data that compares velocity and energy bleedoff rates for tungsten vs. lead with the same diameter pellets at 10 yards or so increments, something like 20-30-40-50-60 yards. Also to see the measured penetration at those yardages in an accepted medium like pine wood or similar. Data for lead pellets is available from references. Downrange pattern density is one parameter, but measured terminal velocity, energy and penetration are other important ones for the inventor's different pellet sizes and especially so when recommending something like TSS 9's for turkeys at longish ranges.

"The Tungsten 9s have the same penetration at 70 yards as lead 9s do at 15 yards" ….. I'd particularly like to see the tech data on that.
