[QUOTE="dun, post: 280658, member: 34"] Higher velocity gives you less flight time and less time for the wind to act on the bullet. The calculations for energy favor velocity over weight, but there are myriad formulas for calculating different measurments of effectiveness. The arguement of high velocity low weight vs low velocity heavy weight has been going on for years. The first really public arguments about it were between Jack O'Connor and Elmer Keith. There will alwasy be those that have a preference for one over the other. Sometimes based on experience, sometimes logic, sometimes what the latest gunwriter guru expounds. The old analogy of which would you rather be hit by, a ping pong ball at high velocity or a bowling ball at low velocty doesn;t really mean much since my preference would be for neither. dun [/QUOTE]
