Horses for courses and if you don't have a long range possie, why worry about it.

Plus, he's comparing a slower, accurate bullet with a fast, inaccurate bullet.

the difference between 2770fps and the normal 3000-3100fps with a 130gr projectile will have a difference when it hits an animal. With 200fps more speed, the hydrostatic shock will be larger. But yea of course 2700fps will kill fine up to 300m, but there is a big difference when you talk about 200fps+ difference in speed
