[QUOTE="fmajor, post: 1163555, member: 20646"] That depends on a few criteria really. That 175gr will maintain it's momentum for deeper penetration and will most likely hold together much better than most 150gr's will. Whether the a 150gr or a 175gr makes a bigger hole depends on what's being shot and how far away the shooting is done from. The 150gr, being lighter and faster, will (generally) expand much more dramatically (given the same target substance) than the 175gr. The rubric of measurement for how "tough" a bullet is is referred to as "Sectional Density" (SD for short) except for "bonded bullets, but that's a whole 'nother thing. Sectional density has a lot to do with how well a bullet stays together and/or resists expansion. [/QUOTE]
