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.

Well i still dont know what the op is trying to say. Fwiw, i made no such comparision of hammer to wood. Only that a plated bullet is soft enough to easily smash with a hammer. Not theory, just fact. Plated do load diff than jacketed or lead if you want best results. That is fact not theory. So what i get from the op post is he shot a berry's bullet, at a low vel into a piece of wood & that somehow suggests that the 100s or 1000s of people reloading them & their observations are BS? So no, still dont get it. Next he'll test a HST hp in wood & be stunned it didnt expand.
Btw, what does babying even mean?
