I see this mentioned quite a bit and wonder about the myth vs reality. Is there any evidence to back up the claims of tissue damage or is it just assumed that since wadcutters cut nice holes in paper they also cut nice holes in tissue? Is it something that was speculated about years ago that grew roots and became unproven fact?
Adding to the confusion are the stories of how ER docs and trauma surgeons cannot tell the difference between a wound caused by 9mm and one caused by 45 ACP. If that's true then how is a flat faced wadcutter going to be that much more effective than some other 38 bullet?
Something I've always been curious about.

Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."
