[quote=jwall]W/O exception ?
Hardly.

Jerry,
With all due respect, I think you're missing my point. In the real world do heavier bullets always penetrate further than lighter ones? Well, no. There are many variables that affect penetration, and sometimes variables other than bullet mass dominate in the penetration outcome (expanded frontal surface area, for example).

Honestly Jordan I don't think I missed your point. "all things being equal" doesn't happen as often as WE'D like.
I am also NOT nitpicking. 10 G quoted you saying something along this line.
"heavier bullets (in the same cal/cartridge) WILL ALWAYS do that. (penetrate further)
That's why I said w/o exception, hardly. I understand "general rules" and that's the reason I gave that 1 example of
exception of bullet path, penetration, etc. that was NOT expected.
We have 'seen' and read about Nos Partition bullets that did NOT perform in the 'general' way. IF NPs can NOT perform
the SAME way every time..... we know many other things are NOT ALWAYS equal.
I agree with you 'in general'. I understand BC and SD <even tho some discredit SD as being useless>
It is a numerical value that's used to COMPARE one bullet to another bullet ****NOT the actual penetrating performance
that we CAN expect.
My only point 'here' was/is exceptions happen frequently.
No Harm No Foul
Jerry
