Again im not knocking you Scarecrow. In fact, i applaud you for diversifying the Bastard line. and for target stuff, silica bbs are ideal, but i just dont know about games.

I think Pusangani's testing supports some of the claims made in BioVALs marketing material (note I do not call it a lab report) - one of them being that the hardness causes greater deflection and carries more kinetic energy away from the target. I believe this to be true, but on for deflective shots, based on what I've seen here. Conversely, if there is less of a deflective angle, does that mean more energy is transferred to the target? Logic would deem it so, but practical testing is really the only way to determine this IMHO.
The problem is this conclusion is somewhat specious and counterintuitive - this is why I'm interested in seeing players either validate or discard property claims about this material.
Incidently no knock taken, your points are valid. I'm not landing on any side of the argument - I too believe the Bastard .28g product has yet to be challenged as an outdoor round, perhaps the only better one would be the .30g round, but I don't think its as univeral as the .28gr (ie: to upgraded guns). However, if the availability and acceptance of the 407ft-500ft argument becomes widespread and field limits rise, I can see .30gr becoming the new .28gr... lol. Wait and see I guess.
One thing I have learned about this sport and its Canadian players is that predicting their preferences and their ultimate decisions is tricky, and as a vendor, you need to keep on your toes, offer options and stay as flexible and responsive as possible, or you're dead out of the gate.
