    Years n years ago tv show that's incredible did a demo. Sand bag at five yards.stops a bullet but arrow said through.all about sectional density.arrow didn't deform.bullets do. Similar frontal area/resistance to push.arrow hadmu h more shove up the bum of that frontal
    area. Now that .223 is pushing a soft pill of 80grns at 2800 ....it begs question as to a 80 grn from 243. Which is better??? The .223 has smaller area to push through. No different to 150s in 30/06 vs 270. Same weight,same speed but one is skinnier.
    75/15/10 black powder matters

    Mickey duck. The show in question was “that’s incredible”. They fired a 30-06 at the sand bag and couldn’t believe their eyes when the arrow went straight through. That was back in the days you were either outside doing something or watching tv.
