Please explain how you can get a .338 bullet weighing just 10 grains more than the .308 bullet to produce almost 700 ft/lbs more out of the same case. That is totally rediculous.
It's pretty easy to explain, actually. Just ask Einstein. You're throwing a little more weight at more velocity. E=mc2... E is energy, m is mass, c is velocity. The velocity figure is squared so it makes a huge difference.
