[QUOTE="Aussie Hunter Steve, post: 1865674, member: 53311"] Bullets or different calibre with similar SD’s will penetrate similar so long as their design is the same. Penetration depends primarily on bullet design and construction, eg, most Nosler BT’s and AB’s have identical SD and BC, but the more stoutly constructed AB’s will penetrate much further in an animal. Regarding different diameters, if the cartridge is adequate it will work. But as the game gets larger, all other things being equal, larger diameter bullets do leave a bigger wound channel and kill more efficiently. The bigger bullet is also more effective when encountering heavy bones as the extra weight possesses greater smashing ability. [/QUOTE]
