[QUOTE="Big-Tex, post: 918650, member: 7495"] I only read through page 5 so I don't know if this has been mentioned, but consider not only the size of the hole, but the effect it has on the surrounding tissue, it's not all about holes and CNS hits, a lot has to due with depositing energy. An expanding JHP that stays in the bad guy is going to deliver the full XXXft-lbs' of energy to the target, where as a FMJ is going to pass through and only create a mild shock. I shoot nosler ballistic tips in my deer rifle because they "blow up" when they hit, and I know that's comparing apples to oranges but its the principle. Even with a 9mm I'm still stuffin' in it with JHP's, and if I have a gun that wont eat them, then I'll buy a new gun. [/QUOTE]
