[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2418926, member: 30902"] Not to start all that again but there's a hole in Rathcombe's theories. Velocity. Today we're working with much greater velocities than the rounds he was testing and the permanent damage done due to hydrostatic shock is very real. You're getting the best of both worlds in a way with individual petals shedding and making separate wound tracks and a large shockwave head of the blunted remainder of the bullet that is still traveling at a very high velocity because the petals shed so easily.
