[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2458184, member: 30902"] Actually there is one really big overriding factor and that's velocity. If you are way out of the recommended velocity range to give adequate terminal performance you're literally gambling and the house has a stacked deck. Sooner or later you'll end up with one that fails to penetrate the rib cage before fragmenting or one that simply pencils through doing very little damage because impact velocity was so low it could not properly expand; and or fragment maximizing the killing potential of that bullet passing through the body and creating a large enough shockwave to cause "hydrostatic shock" and at least instant immobility or death.
