I've been reading several conflicting reports on several forums concerning the expansion of soft lead RB's on game animals, which would then equate to men a well.
I've asked before about the minimum velocity lead needs to expand and was told upwards of 800 fps.
But there's been visible evidence of virtually undeformed balls recovered. If this is so why were RB's far superior to conicals during the CW? If there's no expansion I'd assume the wound would be similar. But it was clearly stated by 2 vets of the CW that the RB was far superior, taking the fight out of a man versus just a wound that didn't seem to do enough to the enemy.
So what gives here?
