Nonetheless, I wanted to present a counter argument to your assertation that Hornady GMX loads were head and shoulders above the GDSP loads in the context of actual self defense for those that might read this thread in the future. It's up to them to then research expert opinions on this matter like Dr. Gary Roberts to make up their own mind on this subject.
Still no.
I've been carefully studying Doc Roberts' body of work since before his first NDIA presentation. I don't get lectured on his work.
Further, you seem blissfully unaware that there are occurrences of literally every single modern projectile design failing to perform as intended. However, in careful consideration of our delicate casual or neophyte readers, the impression created by your statement that these occurrences are statistically relevant to the discussion are dangerously incorrect.
In clear terms of the overall percentage mass lost through auto glass, there is very little mathematical difference between homogeneous solids and bonded lead core projectiles; they both lose mass when traversing barriers such as laminate auto glass. Further, the occasional shedding of petals has not shown to have a meaningful difference in terminal effectiveness after the barrier aside from increasing penetration by an inch or two. With notable exceptions like the USMC SOST non Bonded round by federal/atk.
Lastly, you have not accurately stated my assertions. And they don't need restating; see my original posts.
