    Yep. So there is nothing mystical about a .224 caliber bullet it’s the same as any other. The laws of physics are going to apply.

    True I think the point is that the reverse is true and that when using specific projectiles a 7mm 308 338 etc don't make as big a difference as most like to believe. They are all able create absolutely traumatic wounds and when comparing similarly constructed bullets impacting at similar speeds they have similar wounding capacity. The reason 224 projectiles is talked about so much is probably because it can achieve higher velocities for less recoil and with modern bullets can have BCs able to hold the required velocity to or beyond the effective range of most modern shooters abilities in field conditions.
