Marcus, as I understand it, the red dye shows the volume of the gel that has fissures, NOT the permanent cavity, and (for the reasons you pointed out)
the analysis of the bullet's performance disregards the TC and it is just basically expanded diameter*penetration. So this dyed volume really tells us very little, is this correct?
Is any effort made to discern the permanent cavity differences between a sharp HP vs one with smooth folded back petals, solid FP vs RN vs SWC, etc.?
Is the actual temporary cavity close to this fractured volume or it must be captured on a high speed film? Do you gain anything measuring TC in normal handgun calibers? Is any effort made in the FBI/IWBA protocols to measure TC, or is it just neglected or relegated to "secundary effects" (in case an inelastic organ/tissue is affected, etc.)?
Thanks in advance
