At close distances, 25 yards or less, which would be more effective to achieve deep penetration with less recoil?
1) 1,000-1,200 fps
hardcast, wide flat meplat, fast, lighter bullet
example: http://www.accuratemolds.com/bullet_detail.php?bullet=45-265T-D.png
2) 900-1,000 fps
hardcast, wide flat meplat, slow, heavy bullet
example: http://www.accuratemolds.com/bullet_detail.php?bullet=45-360V-D.png
My reason for this post is that I keep reading conflicting information...at least conflicting to me. There seems to be so much emphasis put on velocity, or heavy weight bullets, then a combination of both. Then, there seems to be the argument that so much velocity is not needed. That a heavy, slower moving bullet, of a wide flat nose, and hard-cast is the route to take to deep penetration and bone crushing results.
Keep in mind that the distance in mind is short...25 yards or less.
Help...please.
Thanks
