Nothing is obvious other than you stated bullet construction was more important than SD. I disagreed .. and still do.
Disagree if you will, but I have compared carcasses killed with 140gr 7mm monometal bullets, and compared them to carcasses killed with 160 and 175gr 7mm cup and core bullets, and the 140gr monometals penetrated more, and held together better than the other bullets despite having a lower SD. My hunting partners saw the same results, and now we all use 140 to 150gr monometal bullets.
