[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 3075626, member: 10755"] Sectional Density wins every time, even if velocity is lower. There is a real thing with bullets that many do not discuss or consider, regardless of weight, if a bullets diameter increases, penetration, generally, is less. Also, construction is a direct contributor to this, bonded bullets will outperform cup & core bullets for penetration. Solid copper bullets will outperform both of the others depending on weight and design. In DG terms, large calibres of 50 cal and above, using soft points, suffer the parachute effect, which causes lower penetration due to size of the expanded area. Woodleigh bullets addressed this by introducing the Protected Point, this bullet does not expand as large as it’s Round Nose counterpart and penetrates further. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
