Why is everyone so against explosive expansion?
The permanent pulverized wound cavity is the only part that matters unless you hit liver, heart, or spine.
A bullet that enters, and completely seperates within 6-10 inches and forms four .20 projectiles still traveling at 600fps or more has a much higher chance for a spinal injury or laceration to something important.
Powrball is dismissed by everyone, yet even the 9mm penetrates into the fourth gallon water jug, the same as hot .45 fmj.
Why are they dismissed? These aren't 1980s Glaser safety slugs.

Look at the tests by ShootingTheBull410 on YouTube with the RIP round. He actually shot some into pork ribs and compared to Speer Gold Dot. The tiny petals that separated barely pierced the surface and stopped well short of the vitals. The only portion left was the small base which is about the speed and velocity of a 380 projectile.

1. Powerball isn't designed to fragment.
2. There are plenty of cartridges that meet the FBI penetration requirement and consistently expand to a greater diameter than Powerball, or Federal EFMJ or Hornady Critical Defense (or any of the the other polymer-nosed bullets).
