You got me there. But as a previous poster pointed out, at least the wadcutters (which includes the FBI load) punch a hole the size of their full diameter compared to the narrower holes from the tapered hollowpoints.

It would be great if someone produced a graphic like this that included the other rounds being discussed. But for now I am happy with the actual shooting track record of FBI loads from snubbies over the years. Just hope I never need them.
