Fackler is often cited by people that do not understand his limitations. His observations were on FMJ wounds he saw in combat related conditions. He is completely uninformed about the science of it. He could not explain much of what he saw nor did he understand how it works. Since FMJ bullets do not mushroom they are much less lethal and the their wound cavities are less. The only way they can dissipate high energy is if they break down rather than mushroom. Fragmentation is normally not what you want in a bullet for humans and large game. His conclusions are misleading because he doesn't understand how bullets work and has no standard to go by. Just like a bunch more half baked ideas like TKO.
Citing Fackler for hunting or civilian arms is misleading and uninformed. And contrary to what some of you say. Real scientists and main stream bullet companies have know this for a hundred years or more and are improving hunting bullets every year since. The goal is controlled expansion maintaining bullet mass. Not fragmentation.
