In one of the 380 pistol videos, you cant believe how much difference 200fps makes. The flesh damage goes from about 1 inch in diameter at 900fps, to 2 1/2 inches at 1100fps. Same weight bullet, just increased velocity.
I have always believed light and fast is superior over heavy and slow. But with the XP bullets its plain obvious when you watch comparisons side by side in the ballistic gel.
In conjunction with velocity, I also think the size of the flutes in the bullet makes a very big difference in how they work internally. The larger flute collects a larger volume of fluids and then directs that larger volume up and out of the bullet.
