    One myth that all of this has busted is that a perfect mushroom shaped bullet is the ideal.

    No I don’t think so. It strongly supports a heavy for calibre frangible projectiles as being very effective.

    There is no paired comparison here.

    Frangible being the key. Nice mushrooms do not demonstrate "frangible". Frangible is violent expansion of the bullet even to the point of bits of it whizzing around inside. With adequate penetration to reach the vitals.

    Yes. Nice looking recovered mushrooms don't seem to have a strong correlation to actual performance.
