Those are all relative terms.

If I were to attempt to draw an arbitrary line in the spectrum, I think I would choose the US Army .50 BMG M2 Ball ammo.

So, anything lighter than 706.7gr is 'light', and anything slower than 2910fps is 'slow'.

btw: The US Army lists this as a 'small caliber' round. So maybe the dividing line should be a 'medium caliber' round.

Y'know...it's gonna get awfully cold by the time he gets it to you.

As all the above shows, slow and heavy and fast and light may apply to boats, airplanes and women but not well to bullet calibers being completely subjective and anecdotal.:banghead:

Simple. Any bullet weighing 200 gr or more is heavy. Any handgun bullet with a MV of 1000 fps or less is slow. Any rifle bullet with a MV below 2400 fps is slow. My definitions, they work for me, YMMV.

Slow and heavy...

Fast and light...
