[QUOTE="User4302021, post: 1541384, member: 105322"] Well, the confusing part is that Sectional Density is involved in BOTH external ballistics (it is inextricable from BC) and terminal ballistics (the higher the SD the more tendency for a bullet to track straight through a highly resistant medium.) What we are really hashing out is the balance between the shape of the bullet (Drag Coefficient) vs. the compromises that have to be made to bullet construction to achieve that slippery shape. At least that is the way I'm looking at this. [/QUOTE]
