Do I effectively double the firepower if I switch from a 115 gr to a 230 gr bullet?
Using that definition the caliber, bullet weight, etc isn't a factor in "firepower".Green Lantern Not trying to be funny here.

firepower
1. The amount of fire which may be delivered by a position, unit, or weapon system.
2. Ability to deliver fire.
I'm speaking of one shot compared to the other shot. 115 VS 230.
I wasn't trying to be funny, either. The definition you cited uses the usual, military sense of the term, and it's entirely unrelated to comparing one shot and deciding which bullet weight is better. As Dogtown Tom already noted, bullet weight isn't a factor (or certainly not the determining factor) in firepower. Firepower is more about how many projectiles you can put on target in the shortest amount of time, and how long you can sustain that rate of fire.Green Lantern said:Not trying to be funny here.
