I think I see what you're getting out....BUT

efficiency doesn't = speed & trajectory. There is that to some of us.

Notice, I didn't mention E (energy).

I meant given the same bullet weight, velocity per grain of propellant.

I always find it funny that so many cartridges are compared at the end of specific velocity envelop in yards rather than the hunting distances you are typically going to hunt or able to hunt.

Understood.

Efficiency often doesn't translate to speed.

EDIT:
I understand your point here too >

"I always find it funny that so many cartridges are compared at the end of specific velocity envelop in yards rather than the hunting distances you are typically going to hunt or able to hunt."


I can only speak for myself. Where I've hunted most of my hunting life (not all but mostly) 300-400 yds is/was possible for needing to take a shot. SO... MY requirements are Speed and Trajectory.

You get more efficiency from a V W

Than a Vette !!
