Then there are the ones that have to be used with in a certain velocity range, at long range they have slowed down to much or with some people that like light loads they don't open at any range. Except for a few like the hard cast and the full metal jacket which should only be used for extreme penatration, I believe most modern bullets will do a reasonable job if used with in there proper velocity range.
I also believe that people using the wrong velocity have put a bad rap on some good bullets. Lee
