Larger diameter bullets allow more room for error?

[QUOTE="Elkeater, post: 1537556, member: 103670"] I think in this case comparing all bullets at the same weight and velocity you are correct. Though I think the margin of error would be of the temporary wound channel and I’m not sure how to measure that without ballistic gel. What I’m getting at is that when comparing a 180 .308 bullet at 3050fps to a 140 .264 bullet at 3200fps I think there is just a difference in how the energy is transferred even though on paper the energy is about the same I think the bigger bullet will kill faster and in the event that both bullets hit a bone ( assuming an identical shot which isn’t realistic but for this exercise we’ll just go with it.) there is more bullet left with the 180 to continue to drive through. This is all just my opinion [/QUOTE]
