Not apples to apples at all. Not to get into too much unmentionable talk, but a .25-06 can do a great deal a .30-06 cannot. And then accomplish almost everything a .30-06 can do as well. Unless you just enjoy 220gr .30 bullets and recoil.A 25-06 won’t do much that a 30-06 can do, and a 30-06 can do things a 25-06 cannot do. Same with .50 and .54.
Roundballs are not at all akin to smokeless spitzers and their loadings. For one thing, the powder load is essentially the only changeable factor in a rounball loading. Four 100ths of an inch does not offer any ballistic advantage in roundballs, up or down from .50.
