Most who have posted here have missed the point you ended your post with: would it make a noticeable difference?

The answer being: Being gun enthusiasts, most would want there to be a significant difference. Some want it so bad that they will compare the two bullets at the far end of the range (500 yards), which is less likely to be the condition rather then more likely(almost all the deer I have shot in my lifetime were closer to the muzzle than to 500 yards...sometimes by design, sometimes by circumstance).

In reality, there is not likely to be a measurable statistical significance difference between the two calibers (about 4% the guy says?). However, we are all human and we need fodder for discussion on our favorite subject, and excuses to obtain new and exciting guns, calibers, et. al. It is not likely the deer, elk, etc. would notice any difference at all...the proverbial ingenious solution to a non-existent problem.
