Take a all lead projectile, (PB, GP conical, BS conical, or a patched round ball), for a given energy, at a velocity ideal for the projectile, and it will OUTPERFORM a jacketed bullet of equivalent impact energy. I am totally convinced of this.
Phil,
How did you reach that conclusion? When you say OUTPERFORM, what do you mean terminal performance? Penetration? Expansion? I believe the best bullet is a pass thru (so there is an exit wound, large hole) with controlled expansion. Maybe it is as you say a matter of personal preference. I agree with you on this statement:
Likewise, take an all lead projectile and cause it to impact at velocities greater than ideal for its design, and one could be dissipointed in the performance.
