The higher the impact speed of C&C bullets, the less predictable their terminal performance tends to be. Which is why heavy, high-SD C&C bullets launched from standard-velocity cartridges tend to work quite well. I try to stick with a sub-3000 fps launch speed, but 2700-2800 fps may be even better for C&C terminal repeatability. With monos, it seems to be the opposite.
Jordan,
So I shouldn't have bought 2 boxes Precision Hunter 110gr ELD-X, for my TC 25-06, to be used on Whitetails ?
Occasional 200 metre shot, but most are 50-100 in our boreal.
Well, at least they were on special !

None of this suggests, blow up upon impact !
Maybe, I'm just naive !
