[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 3064049, member: 109862"] Alright same page then. I just know sometimes in the excitement surrounding light monos at warp speed the focus can become only on the highest mv without considering that by the time the bullet gets to the target EVEN AT NORMAL HUNTING RANGES it’s bled off so much speed that a little sleeker bullet starting just a bit slower is actually hitting not just harder but faster. Ran into this when I managed to get the 120 Barnes tac tx to 4000 fps in my .300 Winnie and also with the 75 grain hammer hunter to 4150 in my .257 bee. Right away someone asks “why not go even faster with the 110 tac tx/67 grain shock hammer?” Well because INSIDE 150 YARDS those bullets have already become slower than the 120/75. That’s all I’m ranting about haha, and it’s certainly a reply to your “speed kills” quote but it’s not ranting directed at you 🤣. Oh dear….i derailed again! 🥴 [/QUOTE]
