[QUOTE="SammySTW, post: 2125770, member: 109958"] I'm not comparing effective ranges, that depends on the cartridge, BC, and muzzle velocity. A high BC cup and core bullet will have a farther effective range than a fast mono. I'm just talking about how impact velocity relates to a bullets terminal performance, and that energy isn't everything. Listen to the podcast, they know more than I do and they explain it better. The point is that energy isn't everything, velocity isn't everything, and caliber isn't everything. You have to have all 3. The fast 22 has the energy and velocity, but it's not going to get the job done because of bullet size and weight won't penetrate. The super slow 50 cal has the bullet size and weight, and energy, but its not going to get the job done because it doesn't have enough velocity, but it will have penetration. If you are only concerned with killing effectiveness inside of 500 yards or so, the lighter faster mono probably wins, and can probably be considered a better all-purpose hunting bullet since 98% of your shots will be inside of that range.
