So I was sitting in traffic today and started wondering...... How does good, old-fashioned lead RN ammo perform in all these ballistic tests we subject our horrifyingly expensive "defense" ammo to? Just thinking about it, I could see some advantages to lead, the first of which would be expansion. No, it wouldn't be uniform, but it would be doing some radical shape shifting in whatever it was in at the time. The RN shape would aid penetration and not be prone to the HP short stop. But I don't know if I 'm thinking clearly, because maybe that very same softness would lead to the same lack of penetration as the HP because the bullet would "pancake" out and stop. I know we've beaten the "best ammo" question about the head for too long, but I thought this was an interesting enough thought to see what everyone else has to say. Any lead tests?
