[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2623135, member: 75451"] This is my opinion, and should be be treated as such! A round nose or pointed non-expanding bullet does little in tissue damage….mostly starts a tear in the tissue, and with tissue being quite elastic moves aside as the bullet passes then closes or mostly so giving a relatively small, permanent wound channel. This could account for the seeming little difference in killing effectiveness. I think of a comparison of these types (rounded/pointed non expanding) of bullet wounds to that of a puncture wound in your foot from a nail! The actual tissue damage of the wound is rather minimal and the resulting wound hemorrhage is also minimal due to the tissue resuming it’s original state. Things change rather dramatically when the bullet violently expands, causing a much larger temporary wound channel and a larger permanent wound channel. Add to this, the tissue (muscle, vessels, organs) damage done by the tearing/lacerating by the sharp edges of the expanded bullet in combination with the additional tissue damage done by bullet or bone fragments! If impact velocities are similar, impact points/angles are similar and bullet types are similar….this is where the larger diameter bullet shows improved performance. While numerically the wound channel sizes are not dramatically different…..there’s no denying that the greater volume of tissue damage results in greater/faster disruption of life functions! memtb [/QUOTE]
