I certainly agree that the idea of over penetration is exaggerated. But yes, I have seen some rounds go through gel without expanding and some expanding at the very tail end of the gel, almost passing through. That is a manufacturing issue, but it's not like people aren't buying those or else they would have wouldn't have an ammunition company.

I have never been one to believe in over penetration with JHP or FMJ, might make me seem crazy but that is just how I feel. But there are people, and a lot of them, that are terrified of over penetration.

But considering that most healthy people have a center mass of no more than 13 inches deep, it almost seems like some bullets penetrate way too far and that can be scary to some people. As you said, few JHP rounds over penetrate but the idea that ANY do and considering they are designed not too is kind of the reason I posted. JHP are not some sort of magical bullet that just stop exactly where you want them too. Would you agree?
