[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 563788, member: 30902"] The heavier slower bullet is going to give you less meat loss not more. The lighter and faster bullets (comparing the same make bullet in different weights) is going to give you more expansion and greater hyperstatic effect than the faster/heavier bullet. In my .300 Rum I'm going to shoot the 180gr Scirocco's at around 3,300fps at everything from deer sized game up. I might try some of the 165's though for a long range varmint load since I'm not hunting for pelts but shooting predators for control purposes. [/QUOTE]
