Pretty sure it will fall over after a good dose of ft-lb though.

But this is all highly subjective. In .243 terms the 95gr VLD and TMK are right on the extreme end of the spectrum, they won't even shoot out of a standard 1:10" barrel if I'm not mistaken.

So if a half decent apples vs apples comparison is made - say 123gr SST in the Grendel vs 95gr SST in the .243, as @berg243 says, there's a gnat's cock of a difference, in killing terms at the ranges my cuzzies use them at for hogs (50-200m), bugger all.

So a poor bc vs a good bc with more weight, both running slow, is an apples with apples comparison? 95 SST has an abysmal bc, run it slow and what do you get? oh right, a fair comparison with a 123 SST out of a Grendel. In case you had forgotten, bc is relevant to retained velocity and the fixation on foot pounds of energy doesn't seem to bother the .223 mob killing deer.
