[QUOTE="Buddro, post: 1809527, member: 108148"] I dont have any bullets to suggest but I will suggest you do some serious combing through this website If I remember correctly it establishes something to the tune of "the only consistent predictor of lethality is size of permanent wound channel through cardio pulmonary tissue." It is extremely informative and written by a very legitimate author. I believe a balastician at Sandia national labs. My biggest take from it was that I would much prefer to send bits of bullet on lines tangential to the path of the bullet in order to reach out and find good bits than to use a bullet that makes a nice deep straight channel no matter what. (there are certainly scenarios when I would choose penetration over fragmentation but they are more the exception than the rule) [URL]http://www.rathcoombe.net/sci-tech/ballistics/wounding.html[/URL] the ballistic studies website has some great write ups on bullet design and performance. it is a great source to cross check information from this message board. His write ups typically assess a bullets ability both to penetrate and to "reach out" [/QUOTE]
