Dead on! There is a very eye opening vid out on youtube every one needs to watch! It was made by an E.R. doctor ( I think) and he shows in detail very graphically, the effects of many calibers of both pistol and rifle ammo!
You are also dead on about the 10 mm ammo we have out there, and its effects on impact! For those just starting out in their 10 mm journey, or for those who do not reload, you really need to look into ammo choices very carefully and not just buy a box of something just because its loaded with hollow points! 10 mm has changed a lot in the years it has been available to us. It has lost much of the advantages it once had. In a few cases it is marginally better but not by a lot! The real answer is to buy the really good stuff, if you can find it and if you can afford it! Better is to reload it with really good bullets and such! For those who think the standard 10 mm is kind of nice to shoot, wait till you run some of the really good loads or really potent hand loads through it! You will be very surprised at just how week the stuff you are used to shooting really is!
