Instead of what cartridge is best/better...?

[HuskyMusky]

Had the thought, instead of everyone saying which cartridge is best or better than the other...

Maybe we could simplify the idea with... just name the bullet weight and velocity...

of course there is which category...

A. Antelope/Mule deer?

B. do all up to Elk/Moose? no big bears/dangerous game, but if it works for those too, more power to ya!


So name your go to for A & B, Weight @ Velocity.

 

[HuskyMusky]

A.
80@3300
130@3000

b.

It is good for any animal on the North American Continent and you can throw in a lot of animals over in Africa.
