[QUOTE="Old Rooster, post: 2259204, member: 108576"] I agree guys,I know what sectional density is but to me is an abstract number. For instance,a 9mm 147 gr bullet has a sectional density of 167 while the 45 acp 230 gr bullet has a sectional density of only 162! If these numbers were real world indicators of lethality the 45 acp should have the larger number as it much larger and was designed by the military to stop a charge or even knock a charging enemy soldier backwards when shot. Who in their right mind would want a 9mm over a 45 acp in battle? Chuck Hawks mentioned this as his argument about sectional density and I was just wanting to hear others thoughts. I consider B C way more worthy of mention than sectional density Thanks to all [/QUOTE]
