[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 940203, member: 30671"] I'm not sure the best way to say it, I prefer heavy for caliber bullets. More sectional density, but as a number that can be used to compare different bullet types, and or calibers, I'm doubtful it can be reduced to a number. Launch and terminal velocity are indicators of bullet performance, but reducing it to a usable, meaningful number such as energy is to me suspect. Trying not to talk in circles. [/QUOTE]
