[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1475680, member: 30902"] Let me throw you a ringer in here. It isn't the mass that matters when breaking bone it is the density and how strong the bullet is that gives it it's penetrating capability especially through bone and heavy muscle. Mass helps, but an easily deforming or breaking up mass will never penetrate tough tissue as well as a stronger, denser bullet that does not separate. The more frangible the bullet is the more necessary it becomes to have a greater mass to inflict substantial enough damage for a quick kill. Remember it is the velocity which is squared in the energy equation, not the mass. [/QUOTE]
