Here's the thing, as shooters we are not limited to one specific rifle, action, barrel, stock, caliber, cartridge or bullet. A smaller bullet with less momentum can result in deeper penatration pretty easily. A 400lb bolder going 50fps will give you great momentum but not much in the way of penetration, a 400gr arrow going 280fps won't have much momentum but will have great penetration.
Had to edit that.
