I've fired many a rifle in my life. The only time I was ever concerned about muzzle flase was when firing an automatic rifle in the dark at someone who could shoot back.

Hell, they wouldn't even have the same velocity!

You might say, "Everything else being equal. . . ," but with two different cartridge capacities, everything else is not ALL equal, and never will be.

Not a simple question, nor is there a simple answer. You might consider "asking the question on the loading bench," and answering it on the shooting bench.

BTW, questions about .416 Rem & Rigby are NOT the same as questions about .30-06 and .35 Whelen. In one case, the caliber has changed, in the other it has not. As far as larger bore (or case??) being more "efficient," whatever YOU define that to mean, most people would define "efficient" in a way that would have the smaller case, and probably the smaller bore, more "efficient."

Sorry this wasn't an answer to your question.
