Research has now proven that RN is not as effective as a well designed FNHere are some reasons why I like RN handgun bullets.
5. Not relevant in the handgun world but look at the cartridges that African guides and dangerous game hunters use to kill the biggest of beasts. They all made their reps for deep penetration using - you guessed it - round nose solids.
IIRC I think Ross Seyfried wrote that the round-nose solid bullets were preferred because of their ability to penetrate straight through to reach vital organs on the large and rowdy African critters. Spitzers in African experience tended to skew off in unpredictable wound tracks in media. Just repeating what I read.
I can't recall the source, but I read or heard that RN shoulderless bullet designs tend to self-center in revolver forcing cones where range alignment might not be so perfect. That kinda stands to reason for me, but it seems like a round flatnose would have those same characteristics and would have a bit more effect on the animated target than the RN.
I have yet to see the condition of anything or anyone that was improved by a bullet strike.
Compromise.............RNFP!
