[QUOTE="fiftybmg, post: 1734747, member: 96316"] The 150 grainer at a bit lower veclocity will give a bit better penetration than the 125 grainer at higher velocity. In a different weight class, namely 500 grainers from big bores, it has been documented that the sweet spot for maximum penetration is 2200 fps. As the velocity increases above 2200 fps, the penetration decreases. The question "does it kill better" must be answered negative. Proper shot placement kills better every time. [/QUOTE]
