I find this whole discussion about speed fascinating. I must admit not giving it too much thought in the past. I, like many, looked for the max speed with a given bullet. Luckily, I believe the factories do a good job designing their slugs for that use. This being for typical deer/hog use. But, it opens up new options when you view it with an eye for what slowing it down will do to bullet performance. An example would be bullets designed for rapid/explosive expansion at rifle velocity performing as a nice deer/hog round when driven at slower handgun speeds. Great discussion!
