I wonder if the flat meplat would tear up the wound channel like a wadcutter. Has any one tested these in something like clay or ballistic gel?

I was wondering the same thing ? So I shot a baseball sized potato at 30 yards, it popped just like when I hit one with a hollow point.

I received some of those Tuesday, and shot about a tin today. 700mm .22 cal 1:16 twist Superior Heavy liner in a Skout Evo.
I shot them at 950, 975, and 1000 fps at 104 yards. All speeds were very accurate, but 950 ish fps was best.
One thing that surprised me was BC G1. It seems many of the “Influencers” are getting crazy high BC. For me, that wasn’t the case. Over the three speeds tested BC was about 0.156 to 0.160. Not bad, but not in Altaros territory.
Just to make sure things were good, I shot my old standby .25 Panthera 600mm with @Altaros 49.5 grain slugs at 888 fps. BC was the usual, today right at 0.209 G1.
