Geek alert
I went to Guns and Ammo's ballistics site, and pulled some numbers. Here's some comparisons of some different calibers. The numbers I found were the best bullets in relatively similar weights, per caliber. Rifles zeroed at 200 yards.
Muz Vel. 500yd vel Muz.Energy 500yd Energy 500 meter traj.
.308 Winchester
(150gr) 3000fps 1942fps 2997lbs 1256lbs -41.4 inches

For giggles:

That 180 grain .300 win mag round is a beast.
