I admit I'm an old hunter who is a little prejudiced against those lighter bullets followed by three or four letters.

I used a 35 Rem when I was young. It certainly moved relatively slow as bullets go. But every bullet entered and exited all the deer I shot. Then I found a just harvested deer with an entrance wound and no exit, even though it dropped on the spot. I saw a slight bulge just under the far hide. I cut it out and later measured it. It was a now .70 caliber bullet, twice its normal width.

Good thing, I thought, that bullet didn't travel any faster. From then on, that 35 Rem was always fast enough.
