[QUOTE="noel carlson, post: 291500, member: 16138"] Edge, This question is directed specifically to you, but I would appreciate informed response from anyone with experience in this area. The article which you linked, at the start of page 11 of this thread, had a section discussing the mechanics of cavitation. It's basic assertion is that a flat nose, of nominal bore diameter, will cause greater tissue disruption than a "mushroom" projectile deformation. It has been bothering me since I read it, as it seems to take no account of mushroom diameter. What direct experience do you have with this claim, and are there any good gelatin studies on this subject? Best, Noel P.S. ; That is a clean sabot design. Too bad we can not come up with something like that for breech loaders. [/QUOTE]
