[QUOTE="FatOldMIHunter, post: 2225315, member: 104844"] For a given bullet and a given barrel, there is an optimum velocity. If you exceed that optimum velocity, something will suffer. You don't want that to be the game you hunt. Usually, non-optimal velocity it will decrease accuracy, which translates to poor bullet placement on (or off) the target. It could also be affect bullet performance on the target (too much or too little expansion). For hunting, bullet selection is about more than BC. Get the right velocity for the barrel and bullet at the ranges you will be shooting at. Get the right bullet for the barrel and velocity at the ranges you will be shooting at. At some point, you will be limited by the barrel and your ability to aim it. [/QUOTE]
