As an example. Sierra Game kings work well in the 2000 -2800fps range, but tend to come apart at 3000+ fps.
My experience is that Sierra Game King
will not hold up at 2700 if the bullet hits solid material in 30 caliber. However, I have little experience with Sierra bullets in other calibers on game animals. I've wondered about the 300 grain 375 bullets that some have promoted.
2500 fps vs 2700 fps with many bullets should not make much difference. I'd worry about a higher velocity with fragile bullets. Plus I've read (but not experienced) about poor bullet performance on monolithic bullets at lower velocities.
Each bullet has a window where it's performance shines, IMO. Some bullets have a wide window (such as partitions and similar bullets), others -- too high a velocity or too low may cause poor performance. At least that's my point of view.
