[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2938597, member: 109862"] The number of times I've heard it suggested that if a bullet is going too fast it "doesn't have time to expand" and just pencils through. What a load of 💩 that is SO EASY TO DISPROVE. the only reason people still beleive that is because they want to. And not just your typical redneck that owns a gun And makes a box of "shells", as they call them, last a decade and gets a little too chatty after a few beers while not knowing what they're talking about around the camp fire (yes that's very specific, yes I know many of these as well - it's an innocent harmless ignorance, totally forgivable, some people have lots to say and nothing to talk about and you just accept that about them and love them for who they are warts and all 🤣) But I'm talking people who ABSOLUTELY have zero reason to not know how daft this readily disproven theory is. Experienced and Well versed hunters and shooters still spout this nonsense. Shoot literally anything of mass, whether a critter, a chunk of wood, a gel block, a water jug, I don't care, and when everything is equal except velocity, the faster bullet always expands or blows up more violently and quickly. Always. There is no threshold velocity beyond which a soft point magically acts like a solid. And I've never once seen any real proof to back up the theory. Have seen a mountain of proof to refute it. Sort of like that "dwell time" nonsense some folks peddle. The expansion of bullets has NOTHING to do with how much "time to expand" they have. NOTHING!!!! Velocity, distance traversed, target resistance, bullet construction, sectional density. Things like that. You know….things that are REAL!!! 🥴Perhaps rotational velocity affects it too, maybe.
