...Back in my horse tradin' days on the side while I was repping, I'd picked up 3-4K of Speer 270 150's out of the $3-400's I'd spent at $2-$3's a box cleaning out a dealer that was going Out of the Speer bullet Bidnizz...and went "whaada I'm gonna do with all those 150's now?? " when I unpacked the Suburban...and learned about ventilating BOTH sides of the critter was mo bettah than not and breaking BOTH shoulders at the same time to anchor the fresh meat on the OUTSIDE of the prickly pear and huisatch thicket where all the buzztails lived on that lease...Just Sayin ...Heavy for caliber WORKS Best in that circumstance....and carry more energy at distance too, generally speaking.

What Wiley says is, of course, correct. Still, there is a trade off that should be considered. Trajectory (flatter trajectory) of the bullet will matter to many hunters, even if it doesn't matter to the turret crankers. And I think that trajectory/MV matters to a large percentage of us, based on the posts I read in this forum. Bullets and cars...and the need for speed. It's part of our 'maleness'.

Good points.
