Take our .257 bulletweighing 87 gra ins, which figured .188. Tofind th e weight of a .277" (.270 caliber ) bul ­let with a sectional density of .188 we usethe table to find th e mathematical figure forth e .277" bullet, which is .00185. Divide th edesired sectional density figur e of .188 by.00185 and we have the bullet weigh t : 101.6gra ins.Th e closest bull et to thi s figure is the 100grain .270 bullet which, for all practical purposes,has the same sectional density as the87 gra in .257 bullet and, th erefore, somewhatsimilar beha vior. The 110 grain .270bullet with a .204 sectional density, can beused to advantag e by handloaders, being alittle better for windy days, and long shots.Following is a table of sectional densiti es,cateaoried Irom noor tQ excellent. Th esewhat similar behavior. Th e 110 grain .:nobullet with a .204 sectional density, can beused to advan tage by handloaders, being alittle bett er for wind y days, and lon g shots.Fo llowing is a table of sectional densiti es,categoried from poor to excellent. Thesefigures are a general classification, takin gint o account : type of shooting, range, winddrift, remaining energy, and penetrat ingqualities. On calm days some of th e listedranges can be increased, but when that olddevil wind starts kickin g bullets around, youwill soon find the listed ranges are all tha tcan be counted on with any certainty.SEC TI ONAL DENSITY RATINGSSect.Density.100-.140.141-.190.191-.240RatingP oorFairGood.241-.290 Very Good.291&upExcellentUsed ForVarmints to 200 yds,Varmi nts to 300 yds.Var. & Game to-roo yds,Game 400 yds. &overLargest Game­Short & long rangeIt will be readily noted th at none of the.22 bullets fall into the good or bett er cla ss.Th e best- of the .22 caliber bullets for b uckingwind, and distan ce, is th e 63 grain witha sectional density of .179.
