This kind of caught my eye, could you or would you expound on this a bit?

Thx

Simply, that I can get a 240 Weatherby to shoot a 105 gr. VLD Hunting bullet (BC of 0.532) to about 3350FPS while I can get a 25-06 Rem to shoot a 115 gr. VLD Hunting bullet (BC of 0.466)to shoot about 3150FPS. Ballistics, at least based on above favor the 240 Weatherby. Is that not the case?
