Penetration is the result of impact velocity, and the S.D. of the bullet as it passes through the animal. With expanding bullets, that also shed mass, the S.D. changes considerably, as the bullet passes through the animal. Therefore, the unfired S.D. is pretty much meaningless, unless you are talking non expanding bullets.

So if you were hunting Alaskan Brown bear and had a choice of carrying a 300win mag, or a 6.5 Creedmoor, which would you choose. If the premise of this thread is correct, it shouldn't matter to you. Personally, I would not have to think about the choice , I would take the 300winmag.
