[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 3076187, member: 10755"] The 25 cal would have the better SD, so all else being equal, it would be the better penetrator. I have numerous examples for you. I have hunted with 6.5mm bullets for a long time, and 25 cal, in most instances where velocity is similar, the 6.5mm wins because it is another step up in weight slightly, however, bullet construction plays as a big a role in penetration as does SD. An example, a 115g Partition fired at 3267fps out penetrates a 120g Partition at 3030fps from a 25-06 99% of the time, so even velocity differences play a role here. SD is not the be all, end all… Cheers. [/QUOTE]
