People who have shot Elk with both cartridges see any difference in killing power? Thanks,
I don't care what bullets or cartridges others use, but it is common sense and simple physics that, in terms of retained energy and velocity, the 308 Win will become marginal long before the .300Win follows suit.
That's not common sense, it's just a cut & pasted ballistics table. You won't find much common sense or an answer to the OP's question in a ballistics table.
Two different cartridges using the same bullet will have difference capabilities depending on their muzzle velocity. Most children understand this concept at an early age based on what they learn at play throwing balls or bean bags or snow balls or other objects. .
But perhaps you are correct. Some people have a hard time grasping simple facts, like a car with half a tank of fuel can't go as far as when it has a full tank.
Stop making sense. You're cancelling out others emotions.
