I'm working on an article now that should interest you. It'll point out that what counts is the impact velocity, not the muzzle velocity, and that one bullet can have a higher muzzle velocity than another yet lose enough velocity in flight to be slower than the first bullet at impact down-range. It'll make three comparisons between
(a) two cartridges of the same caliber,
(b) one cartridge with two different bullets, and
(c) one cartridge with the same bullet at different muzzle velocities and peak pressures.
Can't promise (forget too easily!), but I may remember to post some of this article's data here later.
Your post hits right smack in the middle of several vital but too often overlooked truths. Thanks!
I too will be happy to see what Mule Deer has to say about this.
