20% is a lot to consider, 1/5th bigger!

Isn't the percentage relative to size though? 20% of a dollar isn't much, but 20% of a million is. The difference between .308" and .284" is .024". That doesn't seem like much to me nor a deal breaker and seems like it'd be more dependent on bullets or cartridge. While math has never been my strong point, I don't believe .024" is 20% larger. If I'm correct, .308" would be slightly more than 20% larger than .243/6mm or am I missing something here?
