RE: Decision Tree for Bullets
Chap - Maybe it would be better or easier to pick a bullet if you listed the bullets across the top of a page. Then under each bullet, write down the assets and flaws for each one. Then the one that has the most assets and least flaws for your given criteria would be the one you pick.
Examples of assets: Accuracy, penetration, weight retention, etc.
Examples of flaws: Fragmenting, poor expansion, inaccurate, etc.
Just a thought.
