Sometimes slower bullet holds together better at closer distances. Faster bullet delivers more horsepower at all distances.

You need to understand how your bullet will perform at whatever velocity you are driving it. Pick the right one for the job.



That's not true. A lot of times more speed means bigger wound channel and decreased penetration due to more expansion. I would agree that higher velocity tends to lead to more tissue damage, but even that isn't absolute.


There are so many variables it's easy to argue any point.

Mine is generally correct.
