Your not seeing my point. The OP said he believed the lead was harder than normal in the Berry's and the one he dug out of the wood was not damaged and the plating was still good. All I was saying that if a .44 had a softer lead core it would have probably have some mushrooming even at 1100fps. Your using a hammer as a comparison to wood is ludicrous and certainly is a better point that your hammer theory. At least in the wood he could see some immediate results and compare it. Your hammer theory is like shooting at steel plates at 7-10 yards, nothing but shrapnel is left. Try understanding what the OP was trying to observe it isn't really hard to understand.
