Can a person judge a hunting bullet by sectional density and ballistic coeffient ratings?
In simple language, the density refers to the hardness and the BC to the way it will fly or stay airborne if you will. Correct? So if a bullet has a higher BC than another, it will fly farther and have a lower tragectory than the other bullet? And a higher SD will penetrate deeper, but expand less than a bullet with a lower number?
Is this close to how it works?
And can this information tell you which would be more likey good to use in a contender for hunting?
