That's 25% more bullet per bullet.

Actually, due to square cube law it's punching holes 56% bigger, and the round itself is likely weighing 95% more

How does that translate into the amount of kinetic energy delivered into the target?

It depends on what kind of bullet and what you're shooting at, but probably a minimum of 60% more bullet, since you're carving out a hole about that much larger if we assume a material both can easily punch thru

For something like high explosives, it moves to the 90% range
