No one is saying that the Thompson 1904 tests are conclusive proof of anything that still hold true today. I simply posted the tests as a FYI.

Actually, they do tell us some things that still hold true today. High velocity but low mass handgun rounds, which pack more energy, do not wound as well as those that make a large hole and penetrate deeper.
What is really interesting is that these tests, which took place before the existence of the Temporary Stretch Cavity was known, found that those rounds (that we now know) that have larger temporary cavities, but smaller permanent ones, were poor "stoppers." Conversely, the rounds with smaller temp cavities, but larger permanent crush cavities, did better.
