I don't see it as a debate...it isn't Speed vs Weight..
You must have the appropriate combination of velocity, bullet wieght, bullet construction and point of impact. That is what kills.

2 rifles shooting the same wieght and construction of bullet but at DIFFERENT speeds will have varying terminal results.

You can change the variables all you want but in the end you will find that certain COMBINATIONS are more lethal than others.
My thinking is also along those same lines.

So a 17 REM that has 906 ft lbs of energy is gonna kill better than a 44 mag that has 740 ft lbs enrgy.
Yes I do.. but a 44 mag only has 740 foot lbs?


Huh ? ya right
The 17 has a greater velocity, wouldn't that make you beleive it is going to kill better?

Browning you could only dream of killing as many deer as I have already forgotten about.
You kill two deer, which I doubt you even did, and now your an expert.

The only thing different between men and boy's is the price of their toy's.
