Interesting EXPANSION chart

Not a shooter any more, but I am not surprised to see those Winchester results. Were these fired into ballistic gel?
Pretty but not sure it has any meaning or value.
The theory, I believe, is that bullet expansion results in more tissue damage and incapacity. On the other hand, a bullet that does not expand will penetrate more.
I do not, want to be shot in the pinkie toe with a bb gun... And bb's don't mushroom.
What? No Rem. Golden Sabre?

I recall back when the lamestream media villified those cop-killing Black Talons, which forced a creative (& sardonic!) Winchester to reinvent the wheel by losing that lethal black coating & renaming the round, the SXT ... as in, ‘Same Exact Thing”

It’s a cool picture. All modern self defense / duty loads have been tuned to perform in ballistic gel per the FBI standards.
How exactly these got to where they are we don’t know.
SXT - never heard that explanation but it’s funny!

Nice chart. Thanks @malocchio.

A pleasure Sir !
Nice expansion, but penetration trumps expansion IMO.
That depends. A fully "mushroomed" bullet in the heart trumps a bullet that is a "through & through" in a non-vital area. As well, the demands of LE for bonded bullets are not the same for Mr. Joe CCW out on the town.
