    Yep.... but how fangible a projectile is will make a difference...

    And while the debunking was conclusive if I remember, basic physics would suggest that the deviation caused by projectiles at the same speed, but with different masses should vary... I have always been puzzled by that. Perhaps it is why the idea persists?

    I think the main advantage with a larger calibre is that it lends itself to a short barrel where an overbore round struggles.
