Precisely.
The question sparks a curiousity...
I would love to shoot both in my test media: .30-06 with "240 grain FMJ's" {2200 fps?} and .45-70 with 500 grain jacketed FMJ running at about 1700 fps. I am not certain which would penetrate farther but it would be fun to find out.
By the way, who makes a .30 cal 240 grain FMJ? Also, not to overANALyse a just-for-fun question, but depending on length of the actual bullet, a 240 might require a tighter-than-standard 1/10 twist, something along the lines of 1/8 or 1/9.
