The shape of an object passing thru a fluid not only makes a difference but it makes a huge difference.
A 30 caliber bullet that mushrooms to 1.5 times the original diameter has slightly more than twice the frontal area. The debate should be about a flat object vs a rounded object with twice the surface area.
In the sake of someone trying to learn , that is no expert. May I ask you to elaborate. So are you saying the 30 caliber mushroomed frontal area of 1 .5 times will make a substantially larger wound channel than a flat nosed bullet like a 38 wad cutter for example?
That's all I really seek to know. And this thread has me a little confused.
Thank you
