[QUOTE="proload, post: 516191, member: 34261"] I'm sorry, I can't agree with you. [B]High [U]impact[/U] velocity[/B] requires strong (premium) bullets in order to achieve controlled expansion (especially for fast light calibers). Weak bullets have a high probability of blowing up on impact at high velocities. [B]Low [U]impact[/U] velocity[/B] on the other hand requires bullets with less strength in order to achieve controlled expansion. Premium / Monolithic / Bonded bullets have a high probability of not opening up and "pencilling through" at low impact velocities. It's horses for courses. Shoot a deer at 25 yards with a match bullet at > 3000fps and it will blow up on impact and possibly wound the animal. Shoot the same deer at 500 yards with the same match bullet and you're looking at a dead deer. The converse applies too. Shoot a deer at 25 yards with a premium grade bullet and you're looking at a dead deer. Shoot the same deer at 500 yards, and you're very possibly looking at a wounded deer. When considering hunting bullets, we need to be highly aware of the likely impact velocity and choose an appropriately constructed projectile accordingly. Cheers [/QUOTE]
