I sorta feel responsible for this debate, Now lets think about it in a way as to where you hunt. A light faster bullet will perform poorly in heavy dense woods like up in Maine or Nothern NH. A heavy bullet will be more stable traveling through brush. so to end this debate all bullets have their purpose and functionality ( thats why there are different calibers and weights and designs) depending what and where you are hunting. So I hope I didnt open another can of worms but made you realize there is no debate and that its all about prefrence.
