[QUOTE="troupe, post: 2122495, member: 42169"] Roy Weatherby created a good business on high velocity. He has proven time after time that high velocity kills effectively. The military test also had shown some of it. Bullet selection is better today than when all of these test were done. I can also say that high velocity with the wrong bullet is not always the best. I found out many years ago what a 140 BT at 3500 fps would do to a large whitetail shoulder. I was lucky enough to get a second round into the animal before it went around the hill, so it did not have to suffer. The damage that the first round cause would have been death, but it was not instant enough for me. I switched bullets and from them on it was lights out. BT's were great with a little distance at that velocity, but up close you had to pick your placement. [/QUOTE]
