Gary,
What are your thoughts on the sweet spot between heavy bullets (or hard cast) and velocity? I know that at some point extra velocity just increases recoil and has a negative impact on penetration.
I’ve never hunted anything bigger than an elk, but I’ve been seriously impressed with the penetration of something as small as a 260gr hardcast .44 magnum traveling relatively slow at less than 1500 fps.

240-260 gr at 1000-1200fps will take care of
