Another point is at least with some VLD target bullets the sweet spot for accuracy is somewhere around 2,900 fps. There may be another accuracy node at higher velocities but what it is I have no idea. The early 1,000 yard shooters tried to compensate with more velocity by using cartridges like the 6.5-300 WWH but you don't see that many of the big cartridges on the firing lines these days. Things pretty much stop with the standard 300 magnums or improved versions of them., and the small bores have proliferated.
