[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 863149, member: 61747"] Am I wrong in reading that the trade off part is more about shooting a "slightly" lighter bullet at higher rate of speed then a "slightly" heavier bullet at a slower speed? For example, at 1000 yards 140 grain bullet vs 160. 140 VLD at 2900 fps: at 1000 velocity is 1879 with 1097ft lbs 160 VLF at 2700 fps: at 1000 velocity is 1796 with 1146ft lbs. If I am reading this thread right the idea is which of these two scenario is goin going to produce the most lethal results? Do you take the velocity or the energy? [/QUOTE]
