Decisions, Decisions

My hunting bud started reloading for our varmit rifles but he's locked into this speed mode. He thinks faster is better and if the bullets don't fly right it's the equipments fault. I wanna try some of my theories and see if they work but I know I'll be stepping on his feeling and crushing them like eggshells being thrown against a brick wall. I don't have a problem with that, it's just finding the right loads to try first. I like the trajectory of fast bullets but I also like the knockdown power of the slower heavier round. I guess I'll try for the middle of the road approach. I'll post my findings. ( not like anyone cares or understands)
