I just read someone else's thread concerning stopping power. I am not even going to mention calibers because its not a caliber war thread.
I just hope something could be cleared up for me. I was under the impression that when using a SD round that bullet fragmentation would be the ideal situation. Dumbs all of the kinetic energy and cuts into many surrounding organs. My SD bullets are HydraShok which from the other thread is known to fragment. I understand the biggest single issue is hitting your target, but is my thinking flawed with fragmenting rounds?
