I'm pretty sure a .357 and 10mm are making a bigger exit hole than a .45. Just saying. If we are talking flesh.

It all depends on what Bullet Profile you're using and the medium you're shooting into

Not if the bullet design/construction, all loaded to average max potential,  is the same for all.

Yeah, even if the you are using similar HP designs, the higher velocity rounds are either going to fragment, resulting in no exit wound, or expand, and tear a larger hole on the way out.

Just not buying that a round designed to produce 350-450 ft-lbs of energy is going to produce the same exit wound as rounds designed to produce 650-750 ft-lbs of energy.

Energy isn't the end-all of terminal ballistics, but it does matter.

My first thought when seeing that as entry holes and exit holes in what?

...wet telephone book?  Single wet piece of toilet paper, single ply?

...10 inches of ballistic gelatin?  ten inches of white oak board?

::)
