Talking carbines here. I've just been wondering, white tail don't require a whole lot of penetration. Would the hyper velocity 125g loads (2000-2300fps) hollow points be more likely to bang flop a deer than the heavier slower 158 or 180 grain loads due to hydrostatic shock and less energy spent on over penetration? What about the 110 grain loads? Although I've heard the rifles are usually more accurate with the heavier ammo.
Why is it people tend to prefer the heavier slower ammo? or is that mostly for things heavier than white tail?
