... SD has no bearing in bullet performance, i.... It has no definitive application to anything with regard to physics/ballistics.
...., SD is meaningless when it comes to penetration.....
that's about as ridiculous [in the other extreme] as those who worship SD.
how can SD of a projectile in target be considered meaningless to penetration?
Once an expanding design projectile enters target, SD will variably alter according to changes in weight and frontal area.
