I don't think I've argued against shot placement ... and I wouldn't. I think a well-designed projectile or cartridge makes a difference, and I don't believe I've ever said otherwise. I'm not really sure what "the more powerful guns" means in context, and how much you are suggesting they "tend" to do better? How much is that tendency ... 1%? ... 10%? ... does anyone claim to know? I'll give you this much ... faster rounds tend to expand better/earlier than slower rounds. That's something measurable, and so I'd hazard a guess that it's better in some way. How much? ... 1% ... 10% ... I don't know of anyone who really claims to know, with anything more than an educated guess. I'd never tell anyone using any solid duty caliber, with a tested/validated cartridge design, that they are "doing the wrong thing". That wouldn't make sense, as the science simply says otherwise. There really aren't significant advantages either. Where we get into trouble is believing that some special caliber or gun is likely to be the thing which makes the difference. I'm going to go do my nightly 10-15 minutes of dry practice, which I think is likely to make a much bigger difference should the unfortunate occasion arise.

I like .357 sig because it essentially bridges the gap between the .30 tokarev and the 9mm luger.
.311 85 grain SD = .126 .355 115 grain SD = .130 .357sig 115 grain MV = 1550 fps, 614ft-lbs (102mm barrel) 7.62x25 85 grain MV = 1230-1720fps, 290-560ft-lbs (120mm barrel) |
