[QUOTE="hawk4974, post: 948469, member: 77330"] It has to have SOMETHING to do with energy transfer because it has a larger area for resistance. Again, if [B]bullet design, grain weight, and velocity are equal between calibers[/B], the larger the surface area of the bullet the quicker the transfer of it's energy. My brother in law could probably help me with this experiment. We obviously couldn't compare a 250gr .338 Lapua FMJ to a 110gr .308 hollow point. It would probably easier to test if you used a 30-06 and a 338-06 to compare transfer. That way one might be able to attain the same velocities using the same type of bullet and grain weight.
