Bullet design/construction is a significant factor in limiting undesirable meat destruction. The correct soft from
a scorching .240 can result in less meat damage than a .243win pushing a less appropriate soft.

Re: Velocity!!! How important is it?


As long as a person uses a bullet than can cope with the higher velocity I dont see the harm in having
more velocity than a person needs. At the other end of the spectrum, with the ranges most people hunt at,
they also dont have to worry about having too little velocity on impact, even if only using moderate loads.
