Just as interesting trivia, as ball size goes up, sectional density improves. Once you get just above a 2-bore, the SD exceeds .3. Not exactly practical, but rather an illistration that sd is not the end-all for picking a good bullet.

Also FYI, the formula for round balls is SD = 0.215 x diameter. The exponents, pi, etc cancel out.
