That said, starting the very reliable expanding Gold Dot 180's at a chronographed 1375, gives me a good set of killing power theories at work, simoultanasly. A fairly large bullet to begin with, capable of pretty deep penetration, hitting at about as high of a velocity as handgun bullets can be expected to generate.
Define "deep penetration", because I have not found that to be the case at all. It expands very quickly and I would not use it on deer sized game where I thought the bullet would encounter a shoulder on the way in.
I think we are saying the same thing.
Not really, you're trying to simplify something that is as far from simple as it could be.
