Is muzzle velocity the only thing to consider ?
Whereas velocity may help make shot placement easier at unknown ranges, terminal bullet performance is the most important aspect. A heavier bullet retains its initial energy better than a lighter one offering more penetration on game. A bullet must expand if it does expand properly, with enough velocity, then it will generate sufficient shock for a fast, clean harvest. This is very important to the efficiency of energy dispersion to the target. If a projectile exits the far side of the target animal and continues downrange, it is carrying energy with it that could have been displaced in the target animal.
