Depends who and how. Mindset can be important in hunting. Many hunters will "feel" mroe adequately armed with 120 grains that 100 in a smaller caliber.

With conventional bullets of 20 years and more ago, I would favor 120 grain bullets for larger game. With todays premiums, 100 grains will about do it all. Heavier bullets were only ever invented to counter weight loss during penetration.

If the bullet weighs the same on both sides of the impact, it matters far less.

Believe it or not, I still favor lead bullet for some applications. That is old thinking but still has the history of success when placed correctly.

When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.
