[QUOTE="Veteran, post: 2460169, member: 118038"] Choose your bullet type and cartridge caliber for the game you are going after. But once you do, getting more velocity is going to give you more knockdown force/energy. Thats completely what the whole idea is w hammer bullets. Am going to go after grizzly w a .243 because Im using hammer bullets? No. But if Im using a .338 or .375 H&H, I would maybe want Few hundred more FpS outta my load if I can get it with whatever bullet I choose, and for grizzly it may not be hammers. Im not interested in a blood trail, as much as devastating inner destruction, destruction of meat, tissue and even bone. I want a sledge hammer, no pun intended. Part of that sledge is not just the size of the head, but how hard can I swing it? Ya want John Bunyon ta hit ya w a sledge or Pee Wee Reese? Velocity and energy matter once you have a system designed that otherwise makes sense. [/QUOTE]
