    Bullet diameter has a lot to do with killing power as well, not just speed and weight. That's why the big 338's are excellent long range shooters.

    I remember reading an article many years ago which basically said don't go by energy alone. The author talked about momentum as being the biggest factor in how a bullet penetrates and performs...

    The trouble with the 243 (at distance) is the little pill. It may have 1000ft/lbs at x distance, but when it hits something it looses that energy VERY quickly. It (and others) just don't have the...
