At that point, I started digesting what I was seeing more objectively and started to notice that caliber "seemed" to play a larger role in performance moreso than velocity in "some cases".
Now I can quite fairly contradict myself here, as I also saw velocity make a larger difference that caliber in "some cases" and to quote one, I saw more dramatic performance from the .257 Weatherby than I did from the .270 Winchester. I saw the same performance from the 6.5x55 Swede compared to the .270.
Could be wrong, but seems I remember a quote from Mule Deer a few years back where he said, in his experience, the 257 Wby had an unusual propensity to make dramatic kills on game relative to the size of bullet it shoots.
Is this correct JB? If not, my apologies.
