But I don't recall seeing those numbers and suspect that your recollection might be flawed in some particulars.

I recall Marshall's "one shot stops" data for .45 ACP showing roughly 90% for JHP, but around 60% for FMJ. But those were not penetration figures. I haven't seen any penetration studies such as you've described.

In any even, absent some citation to a source I wouldn't be prepared to accept those figures.
