I know a lot here like heavy bullets to hunt with and that's fine. However (take the 7 mm mag for instance) the 160 grain bullet has more energy than the 175 grain at 200 yards so wouldn't it result in a quicker kill?
I assume the 175 gr. penetrates deeper due to slower speed which in turn has less mushrooming so it penetrates deeper. With more mushrooming the 160 gr. would inflict more trauma on game wouldn't it?
And the 140 gr. would inflict even more trauma wouldn't if it was a lung shot?
Speed still kills don't it?
