Maybe I missed it, but don't think anyone has mentioned the great work of Masaad Ayoob on what actually works? Might be showing my age.
Mas is a great guy and very, very intelligent. He doesn't represent himself as a ballistics expert, but when he advised people on what to carry lately, he's deferred to Dr. Roberts' advice on this topic, which is pretty much the industry standard.
