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.
I didn't do that since it causes some folks grief to hear that bullet XXXX fragments or some other term that is not good. I believe this chart speaks to penetration, mushroom diameter, width of wound channel and weight retentionon several of the bullets in this tree. The tree is a bit more general, but
this coupled with the tree should be a good start for most new folks or folks looking to change bullets.
I don't think many are going to changebecause of this decision tree, but some will change over from ShockWaves from Grouce45's pictures and descriptions.
