If you're not overthinking bullets, you have no business on this forum.
A profound truth.
I was just holding two bullets in my hand yesterday, looking for the "best" route in another 7mm-08. I've got a couple boxes of 145 Speer BTSP that I know are soft and work great at 2,700fps or so. I've also got a couple of boxes of 120TTSX, which I also know work great at 250fps faster. The Speer knocks very nice holes in ribcages and often leaves big blood trails, but it sometimes doesn't exit when you aim for the offside shoulder (stuff generally drops with that combo though). The TTSX acts like a "smaller" bullet, but it pretty much always exits, and is pretty reliable on bad angles. Still not sure which way I am going to roll with that one, but I like trying a lot of rifles and bullets each year. If everything falls to one load from one gun, that sure seems boring in my book.
