Or just confirming what we already know in that the hole might be a bit bigger and some additional damage around the hole?
Let’s understand from you how 52% more recoil energy, 35-40% more terminal energy...equals deeper penetration, or more dead?
Will like to hear you explain the lessons learned from Africa stuff, big bores getting to a point of not being able to penetrate deep enough even though 8000 ft/lbs or more

Maybe rather than posting hypothetical information and ideas you should spend some time reading. For dangerous game a .375 caliber is the minimum prescribed by law in most African countries. Also many countries have a minimum energy amount such as Zimbabwe with 5300J for dangerous game.
As I stated before. Also read about why FMJ bullets were required for war yet you cannot use them for hunting. I would bet they will penetrate much further than any hunting round you can find but I can also guarantee that you will see that they don't do much damage and are intended to wound the target rather than kill.
