    If you used 80gn ELDX at 2800 the 93.6gn bullet out of a .260 would have to be going 3276 to be its equal , that’s hauling ass .

    Fair to say the .223 is an impressive for size caliber .

    Not quite jacket thickness doesn't increase typically with calibre size. Similar construction bullets act similarly across calibre ranges. Sectional density is what is ensuring sufficient penetration with the more explosive match projectiles.
