So you're saying comparing the .22mag with 324ft/lbs of energy to the .223 with 1333ft/lbs of energy (just a little over 4x the energy difference) isn't really a good comparison?
If you look at just over all ft/lbs of energy the 223 has about 1000ft/lbs more

And the Swede has about 1000 ft/lbs more than the 223

So it would be like saying "I have a ton of expirience shooting critters with a 223, it's pretty much the same as the swede".
Probably not the most accurate statement.
