[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2016773, member: 101791"] You are right on!!! Shot placement is the most important, and matching the bullet to the velocity. It's a life long study. I have been hunting for almost 63 years now. Been hand loading for 58 year now. I am still learning. One thing for sure I look at any animal that I get a change too to see what damage was done to it. I don't have any idea as how many I have looked over the years. I hand load my cartridge and generally use rifles that obtain velocity of about 3200 fps with the rounds I shot from them. I read a very long time ago, that was better to keep your velocity close to the same, because you don't have to rethink your bullet travel. The only rifle that I shot at a higher velocity is my 220 swift, which I use a 55gr bullet @ 3900fps. [/QUOTE]
