I agree, but that was started after the 1986 Miami shootout and the standards are now well known in the industry, and every ammo maker strives to make its ammo, for obvious reasons, so that it passes the now-standardized tests. So, while we owe them a debt of gratitude for thoughtfully analyzing the issues and challenges and coming up with a set of repeatable tests so that all ammo can be objectively measured, the ammo companies are now doing it on their own and we are far better off. In an efficient world, that should now mean the buying process should be simpler and less costly and time consuming. But, apparently not.
