Such “tests” have essentially become marketing tools to sell $1.00+ per round ammunition in fancy boxes
And it works wonderfully at doing so
Expansion itself has become a marketing gimmick as it makes no significant, practical difference in the real world when compared to the 3P’s
Expansion should be looked at ONLY in the light in which it was originally applied, to reduce over penetration
When originally conceived it was under the guise of “safety”, to slow the projectile before exiting
Along the way the gun rags, the internet, and manufacturers have convinced people that it’s the “end all be all”
It isn’t... far from it
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again
Get out and do some long term handgun hunting if you REALLY want to know what matters
For most it’s the only practical way to see what projectiles do in the real world with ones own eyes
