I was reading that hollow point rounds when fired into a person with heavy
winter clothing, have penetration problems. The expanded bullet picks up some
of the fabric and that the heavier clothing absorbs some of the energy thereby impeding penetration.
If this is true, does it mean that FMJ rounds are more effective than JHP in winter and therefore the preferred winter cartridge?
Also, does it mean that in defensive carry, one should upgrade their caliber, such as from 9mm to 40 S&W or look for a higher speed cartridge?
Thanks for your input!
