[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 3075130, member: 103303"] I think this is a hard question to answer because there is so much variability in bullet construction. Take for instance; -FMJ, -Bonded bullet that retains 99% of its weight (interbond or A-Frame) -mono that retains 100% of its weight (Barnes) -mono that retains 60% of its weight (CEB) -Varmint bullet that totally fragments Bullet construction varies a lot, and my opinion is that the wound channel depends more on BULLET PERFORMANCE (what the bullet actually does when the metal hits the meat) vs the size of the hole it came out of (caliber). To say it another way, without isolating a 'type' of bullet, the signal will get lost in the noise. This is the most comprehensive study that I am aware of on 'expanding bullets' [URL unfurl="true"]https://rathcoombe.net/sci-tech/ballistics/wound_ballistics_main.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
