[QUOTE="mercerbear, post: 2340152, member: 116322"] Any bonded bullet out of a 30-06 would punch through and dump less of it's original kinetic energy, sure. A 150 grain SST out of a 30-06 hitting a deer at around 2800 fps in the boiler room is a bang flop. Even if portions of the fragmented bullet and jacket pass through completely, the 30-06 would transfer more energy than the .243 because it starts with a lot more energy. In no situation does a 243 kill something deader than a 30-06, shooting the same type of bullet. [/QUOTE]
