the above link claims that a 158g rnl .38spl went through 28.8" of gel?? many more powerful hp bullets penetrated less...according to the chart?
is there such a round??
if so, would a similar .38spl fmj also be a better penetrator that the expanding .38spl hollow points??
ie....more likely to create -entry wound (blood loss) - internal organ damage (passing through organs...blood pressure loss and possible nervous system damage) - exit wound (additional skin wound creating additional blood loss) ??????
do the hp type bullets do something significantly better if they expand fully??
entry wound (blood loss...somwhat larger than a fmj entry wound) - internal organ damage (often displacing more fluid and nicking organs as well as smashing into them) - exit wound (less likely than an fmj) ?????
if they dont expand fully do they perform similar to fmj then??? or is there something in the construction of the hp type bullets that could tend to fragment them , loosing mass more readily...esp through barriers????
