I disagree with that approach. Ignoring the use of poor testing criteria only encourages others to do poor testing.
Using the same velocity “floor” for all calibers ignores the fact that proven loads producing excellent results in .45ACP are automatically rejected.
Using the same expansion ratio for all calibers ignores the fact that some bullets start off with a larger diameter than others. (Duhh!!)
Using an arbitrary minimum penetration depth ignores the fact that proven loads producing excellent results are automatically rejected.
Good testing procedures + careful record keeping + unreasonable criteria = bad results.
