[QUOTE="redneckbmxer24, post: 3035580, member: 11459"] I stopped chasing super high velocity years ago when I started realizing that it was causing the bullet failures I had many times even with strong bullets. The first time I had it happen was about 20 years ago when I shot a whitetail doe at about 30 yards with a 300RUM with 150gr Sciroccos. I ended up shooting her 4 or 5 times and it was just blowing chunks out. Those are bonded bullets and they failed at close range. I didn’t know that at the time though, I didn’t know what to make of this doe taking a bunch of hits from a RUM and just making craters on the entrance side. All the other deer I had shot with it were 300+ yards and that didn’t happen. Then I had it happen more with some other bullets and cartridges and that’s when I figured it out. Unless you know that you’re shots are all going to be way out there, I’d look at max BC over max velocity unless you’re just shooting varmints where it doesn’t matter. [/QUOTE]
