And you're of the opinion that Doc's work on terminal ballistics is a waste of time - , as is the FBI's, military's, and LE agencies' interest in such type work ?
I suspect you have come to a conclusion based on bad logic. Yes, its been found that good service pistol JHP ammo in 9mm, 40, and 45ACP perform in a similar manner in terms of terminal ballistics. Caliber choice doesnt matter much with well designed JHPs. Many institutions are going back to 9mm for that reason. - - That does Not mean that bullet design doesn't matter at all, however.

Good discussion here. I read all of my colleague, Dr. Roberts' work here, and elsewhere, too. However, don't forget that when discussing the results of his scientific testing, he always adds this specific corollary to the end the said discussion:

@ Dr House - yes, that's true. Pick out ammo from 'The List' and then go out and get some training and trigger time.
But, that's quite a bit different position than the vague claim that it doesn't matter at all what ammo is used.
Hopefully, someone won't chime in next with "a hit with a lousy bullet, is better than a miss with a good one !"
BTW - I've had face-to-face conversations where I've mentioned Doc's list and the other person was of the opinion that all ammo is about the same. They buy what they can find on LGS shelves and is cheapest.- - - Okey dokey, . . that's their choice.

Not quite sure I get the discussion point about ammo. It would make some sense if the ammo on the list was super duper classified and impossible to buy, but it's not. Nor is it truly cost prohibitive. We aren't talking about buying $100 boxes of ammo here. All the ammo on the list is pretty much readily available, so why not get some? Unless the ammo on the list doesn't function in your gun or you shoot them like a shotgun pattern I don't see the reason to not get them.
Yes, I subscribe to the youtube channel.
