[QUOTE="jaspepp, post: 2501905, member: 120021"] one huge term I haven’t heard tossed out yet, been danced around, but not said…… sectional density. Getting back to the OP’s question, heavy for caliber bullets definitely TEND to have a higher BC, but will almost always have a higher sectional density. After all, this is a hunting forum right? just Because a bullet has a high BC doesn’t mean it’s gonna kill better/faster. But a bullet with a high sectional density will most definitely penetrate deeper, potentially killing better/faster. To me, this is a huge factor in why heavy for caliber is often better. [/QUOTE]
