I use to believe that fast bullets was the 'cats meow'. Get it as fast as you can with no pressure signs. I was young, full of piss and vinegar..... "Does it kick"..... "Not too bad"..... "Is it accurate"....... "Close enough to deer hunt with". That could've meant a 1" or 6" group at 100 yds.

Now, like others have said, less recoil, less noise, and accuracy are the ticket. So far, nothing has dodged one of my 30-30 bullets and they're traveling a blazing 2000'/sec. I've got other rifles that go faster, but none are being pushed for speed. Give me an accurate rifle, every time.

Added: Way back when..... .243's no good for hunting..... too fast..... bullets pencil thru..... too small a bullet to kill a deer....etc.
Bullet technology has come a long way!!!
