[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2016587, member: 68875"] Velocity amd energy alone don't tell the tale. Usually, USUALLY.... Higher velocity/lower energy indicate a lighter, fast, high BC bullet. Lower velocity/higher energy indicate a big, heavy bullet started slower. Like #3. Higher velocity/high energy, best of both. Heavier for caliber bullet, high BC, higher starting MV. Better for LR, depending on bullet design. You could post a .408 Cheytec up with a 550gr MTAC solid pointed that would put up huge numbers in both velocity and energy, but I still wouldn't use it on a deer. Same with a .22-250 pushing a 40gr V-Max. It is energy transference to the animal that makes it lethal. I would take a 6PPC w. 105 Hybrid over that. Whitetail usually don't require a cannon. Any of those will do the trick. But dead is dead. Now, if you posted bullet diameter, bullet weight, and bullet design into your supplied data, that would really help. [/QUOTE]
