I do find it odd to compare a match bullet to a hunting one. I highly doubt the two bullets compared would penetrate the same amount as one would expand and one wouldn't. Regardless if they penetrate the exact amount then energy is the determining factor. A 300 would exhibit 35-40% more energy into the animal for the exact same penetration from 0-500 yards. Also the wound channel would be 22% larger assuming the diameter doubled for both which they wouldn't. Just because a bullet penetrates doesn't mean it is going to kill efficiently. Energy is wasted if the bullet goes completely through the animal.
