More mass or same mass + higher velocity = more energy. Cant argue that.

More mass or same mass + higher velocity = more energy. Cant argue that.

But the 270 is less mass. That's how it achieves higher velocity.

But the 270 is less mass.

How could a 150gr. Bullet vs a 150gr bullet ever be less mass then one another?

E= Wt (gr) X velocity squared/ 450240 (a constant)

How could a 150gr. Bullet vs a 150gr bullet ever be less mass then one another?

The typical 270 load is less than 150 and the typical 30-06 is more than 150.

A much more common comparison would be between a 130 grain 270 and a 180 30-06. In that case, the 30-06 has about 300 pounds more energy than the 270.

E= Wt (gr) X velocity squared/ 540240 (a constant)

Not 100% on this but I think that equation only holds true up to terminal velocity.

270s are outlawed? Wow.

yeah WOW

E= Wt (gr) X velocity squared/ 540240 (a constant)

God help us. Math is now involved.

BTW, a typical 150 grain 30-06 load also has higher velocity than that of a 150 grain 270 load.
