Brister had very good things to say about Winchester's old Lubaloy and the patterns it produced. However, in addition to plating, those loads were also buffered.
Re Dr. Jones' work, I'd have more confidence in it if he hadn't made such a point about the frequency at which targets are broken by a single pellet. I don't know that there's any way to count how many single pellet hits result in breaks, but I do know of a way to prove that single pellet hits quite frequently do NOT break targets. That's simply to look for unbroken targets on the field and see how many have one hole in them. Not at all hard to find. Sometimes even 2 holes. Makes me wonder whether there might also be a hole in his conclusions.
