Frontal area matters to varying degree depending on the game- circumstance.
Keep in mind that when hunting much much larger game and things go wrong,
both amateurs and professionals may willingly sacrifice frontal area for penetration by opting for solids-
to urgently finish the task that softs failed to do.

Diametric wound channel volume is not the only thing to consider, just as important can be how WCV
is distribute through the animal. A solid that makes a narrower but longer channel can prove to be more
effective simply by the fact it was able to reach and destroy critical anatomy that a soft would not reach.
