[QUOTE="DT400, post: 1739582, member: 76847"] Too much velocity can be as bad as too little. Read up on the bullets you are interested in. Find out the max and minimum impact fps and intended game and see if it fits within the parameters of your needs. IIRC pertaining to Noslers the Partition is the gold standard for hunting rounds and hasn't changed much since it's inception, the Accubond has the same terminal ballistics (not design) as the Partition but with better BC, but they both still need about 1800+ FPS at impact for "proper" expansion. Yes they will expand at a lower velocity but not to maximum design specs. The Accubond Long Range (LR) is very similar in terminal ballistics but will work down to 1300 FPS for longer shots. Again I am going by memory so I may have a bit of the facts wrong but you can see there are different bullets for different applications. Darrell [/QUOTE]
