[QUOTE="112Savage, post: 2038626, member: 38801"] I will say that I think bullet choice and placement have more to do with success than the cartridge. For example in my creedmoor I use two different bullets and one is way more capable at long range but the other is much tougher. Sierra 130HPBT Gameking is pretty tough and I got an exit with a posterior shoulder shot with a impact velocity of 2768 (45yds)- I really think this is the limit for this bullet but it was DRT performance and made a mess of the heart and lungs. Sierra 130TGK Gamechanger is not quite as tough but produces emphatic kills with my closest deer being shot quartering-to at 75yds leaving an exit. The major difference is the HPBT gameking hits minimum expansion velocity threshold at about 500 yds and the TGK at 700 yds In short the cartridges inside of 500yds are really only going to differ by bullet construction. 300 FPS is a considerable difference but not so much on small bodied whitetail.
