[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1475733, member: 2736"] Ultimately, It is the velocity at the point of impact. Bullets need certain velocities, depending on there design to perform. you could load to 2000 ft/sec and hold distances to the range needed to operate within the parameters of the bullet design and performance would still be there. Velocity at the muzzle means very little unless you hunt at point blank range. Point of impact velocities are more important for good clean kills. More velocity only increases the range and trajectory for equal performance a slower velocity can produce the same performance at closer distance. Normally most cartridges have enough energy and velocity at the distance we use. Shot placement becomes the most important thing for DRT kills as long as all other criteria has been met. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
