Do you consider Sectional Density when choosing a bullet?

[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 2259491, member: 95344"] I mildly consider sectional density if considering a headshot or heavy bone shot. But really with today's fragmenting bullets it's not something I look heavily into. I generally wait for a good side profile shot if I can. Now if it's dangerous game that's a different story if I were focusing on monos, hardcast, or fmj. As far as the military switching from 9mm/38 special, as in the case in the Philipines to 45 ACP, that was FMJ and the 45 ACP made a bigger hole. Apparently that stopped the Moro's mo betta. With a good quality hollowpoint gel tests don't show much difference between the 9mm and 45 ACP. But if shooting a FMJ I'd choose a 45 ACP. [/QUOTE]
