One day I hope to see all bullet manufacturers engaging us with terminal/wound ballistics data....what happens in gelatin has no correlation to the human body.
Wouldn't it be informative if they were able to get reports from hospitals and coroners offices about the true wound ballistics of their bullet. Then true comparisons could be made and an informed decision can be rendered by the individual shooter on what to carry in their weapon.........I have a dream.
I encourage everyone to contact these manufacturers and have them pursue this kind of information so that the data presented means something rather than nothing.
All medications go through 'phases' of trials until they do it in humans....gelatin is a phase 1 trial and should be listed that way (no corrolation to performance in the human body can be stated) ....I wonder why it has taken so long for this discussion to happen ands when the past poor data will become useful data.
just my rambling.....
