[QUOTE="judgebill, post: 2256529, member: 101611"] When hunting, use what works for you...based on experience. If you don't have the experience, do a lot of reading and employ common sense. High BC is important to maintain velocity. Velocity squared times bullet weight gives you foot-pounds of energy. Speed and weight at the time of impact is what counts. But, of course, bullet construction is important too. If you shoot only one gun, and do it a lot you will "learn" your gun and caliber and have the potential to be a better game getter than the fellow who shoots many different guns at different ranges with different loads. On the other hand, he who shoots a lot may have more fun. Depends on what it is you're trying to accomplish. Punching paper is a good exercise but so is hunting. Be realistic and define your mission and work to accomplish that. [/QUOTE]
