Optimal velocity per 45 bullet weight ?

[Davemuzz]

I peruse a lot of subjects\post and I swore I saw a post (which I can't seem to find) that stated for a big bore handgun such as the 454 Casull, the is, or seems to be an optimal velocity for each bullet weight (and I can't recall if this was lead or jacketed...or maybe even both).

Now, when I say "optimal" if my bad memory recalls, it was the velocity that when a bullet of a given grain is shot, it delivers it's "best" damage to the game. (Yeah...I know....what is "best"?). But essentially what the post was saying was you could shoot the bullet faster, but it really didn't expand better, drive deeper, or kill faster than these given "optimal" velocities.

Ok. So, did I just dream of seeing this post.....or was there such a post....or was I wishing there was such a post?

Maybe it is the meds? 

Thanks for any help.

Sounds like some of Veral's theories. You'll most likely find it on his forum here.
