Thinking you maybe found an answer here, but keep in mind there are more pieces to the puzzle if you are inclined to dabble. Jacketed bullets generally perform well within their designed velocity envelope. So too do cast or swaged bullets. I hunted for a spell with a .358 Win and it was prone to knocking the stuffing out of deer and pigs, but it was noticeably inferior to my .44 Mag carbine loaded with paper patched lead at a pedestrian 1,600 FPS. It wasn’t as hard on the ears either. In a .30-30 the old Lyman 311041 cast bullet is quite deadly with a MV around 2,000 FPS.
