Very common almost all heavy high BC projectiles will overtake lighter lower BC projectiles eventually when fired from them similar sized case. The bigger calibre are usually a little more efficient in terms of muzzle energy but often lose out on the open of high BC projectiles.
Hence why the factory precision hunter 7mm08 holds 1000ftlbs to 700 yard while a 270 only holds it to 750 yards at the cost of significantly more recoil and 200fps higher muzzle velocity. At extended range BC is fairly significant for retaining energy . Obviously need a balance it with velocity to allow the projectile to expand and do it job. Should have a bloody good load there mate!
