With the Garrett 45-70 rounds, the 420 grain has a .33 inch meplat while the 540 grain has a .36 inch meplat...which basically hits harder despite having less energy. Plus the 540 grainer is going to retain a higher percentage of its velocity (and therefore energy as well) as it goes farther downrange. Does that help?
