Lee Jurras founded Super Vel in 1963. Kinda don't think there was a whole lot of computer modeling going on back then. Not much high tech stuff, either, I don't think.
I'm not sure Super Vel and Jurras played on NIJ findings. I believe what it played on was shooters' desire and need for high performance handgun ammo...and that included law enforcement at the time. This is just my
opinion, mind you.

What's wrong with nostalgia, especially (in this case) if the product is a proven performer?
Besides, nostalgia is one of the biggest factors that fuels the collector market, whether it's guns, ammo, leather goods, whatever. Again, my opinion.
