Default RE: 7mm vs. 30-06

Stubblejumper, (& ratherbehuntin) Alright, I don't really have time for this, but...

I knew velocity was in the inertia equation, but I assumed that the weight advantage of the 30-06, 220gr bullets was greater that the speed advantage of the 7mmmag, 175 gr. I was right, but it was by a smaller margin than I thought:
(using 100 yards) Weight 30-06 by 126% vs. Velocity 7mmmag by 124%. I don't have the equation handy, do you?

I don't use BarnesX, but I assume if they are the same bullet for two different calibers and weights, they will be constructed to the same sectional density?
