Alright guys... lets compare a 140 grain 6.5mm SD .287 bullet to a 165 grain .30 caliber SD .248 bullet.
Lets also say both bullets are nosler accubonds or partitions traveling at the same speed - impact velocity say 2500 fps
What one is better at crushing/penetrating bone? The 6.5mm 140 grain has higher sectional density however it has less energy as well.
What plays a larger role when hitting bone assuming the same bullet and same impact speed - better sectional density or more energy?
