[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1641889, member: 2736"] So I think we can all agree that there is no one perfect velocity just like there is no golden bullet. There is a best impact velocity for each bullet depending on the distance and the game to be hunted. To somewhat answer the OPs question, I generally want a bullet near the top of it's rated performance velocity. and in most cases like to stay around 2800 to 3000 ft/sec muzzle velocity and adjust the range accordingly. Most bullets will still work with less as long as they don't get much below 2000 ft/sec. The More range that is needed, The More velocity needed to keep the impact velocity in the bullets performance range. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
