[QUOTE="emp1953, post: 1868326, member: 71817"] I look at how much terminal velocity at a given range that a bullet has for a given caliber, muzzle velocity. Bullet manufacturers publish their recommendations for optimal terminal velocities at ranges you will be shooting. So I never hunt with a load that gives a muzzle velocity which ends up with a terminal velocity that violates the bullet mfg recommendations. Proof is in the pudding. If your bullet is not performing on game at 400yds like it is supposed to be, then maybe you need that extra 100 or 200 fps, or you need a different bullet. If you are just punching paper, well if your groups are where you want them, there's no need to burn out your barrel if its doing what you want. [/QUOTE]
