With all the technological advances in bullet construction today, I find it amazing how the humble cast bullet is still at the top of the heap for certain applications, particularly in handguns. When hard cast bullets are fired from a handgun, they usually outpenetrate all other bullets. A bullet wound is nothing more than a stab wound. The deeper the stab, the more tissue is disrupted, hence, more bleeding, especially when the heart, lungs, and large blood vessels are clipped during the bullet’s travels. Deeper penetration (wound channel) allows for acute-angle shots to be confidently taken, as the cast bullet will make it to the vitals with its superior penetration.
