Fraser, Interesting info, but the flaw is that it measures lethality, and the results are from autopsies.

For lethality, bullet placement is more important, and the differences between ball and hollowpoints isn't that much.

For stopping power (ie suspects stops trying to kill you) having the badguy lose conciousness, collapse in pain or fright all counts as a win for you.

So there is more to effectiveness than just lethality.
