Very interesting - thank you for the work and for posting.

I have been woking along these thought lines as well. Dreamt up a table just setting SD and calculating the corensponding bullet weight for each caliber.

Goal was to have a start selecting "class" of bullet for comparison porposes between calibers.

Looking at your chart, SD 0,22 (calculated by metric) seems in most cases to be favoured.

This is interesting - as many years ago a trend was much more to heavy for caliber bullets. This trend continues in the +375 group accourding to your table.

I would like to know, what parameters you take to rule the bullet weight to be the most effective for a chambering - energy, momentum, powder used / fps...

The TBI is as flawed as similar indices as on game performance is much dependent on variables not factored in as location of the wound and wounded organs, psychological state of target animal...

Good work - looking forward to more and some discussion.
