Would the area under each curve be similar if the bullet velocity was the same??
I am speculating here, so somebody correct me if I'm confused---
The pressure curve would not necessarily be the same--the .416 Rigby has a larger case than the .416 Remington and therefore operates under lower pressure than the Remington round--and yet they are both shooting around 2400 fps. This is one reason some knock the .416 Remington for hunting during the really hot time of year in Africa--personally I have probably shot 50 plus rounds of .416 Remington while hunting in Africa with no problems what so ever and fantastic performance on everything I pointed it at..
