[QUOTE="PredatorSlayer, post: 1783795, member: 110866"] If your petals sheer off, essentially the rest of your bullet is penciling through - I get that is has a flat base and in theory will cause a bigger wake than an FMJ, but it isn’t any different than a flat nose target bullet at that point being shot out of a small caliber handgun at a higher velocity - does it really cause more damage than a Barnes that’s petals peel back and stay intact spinning and rotating through bone and tissue? It seems the wake of damage cause by the barnes would be significantly greater and also cause a better blood trail for those interested in that sort of thing. [/QUOTE]
