As human beings, we tend to overthink everything !
Depending on where or not a hunter wants pass through, 100% energy dump in the animal, weight retention, shrapnel type bullet performance , super penetration etc one person's opinion will be different than another's.Add to this , most people expect their bullet to do whatever and any distance and velocity, well, about the only constant you will get is the rifle/shooter ability.
If you put it where you know you can kill every time, kill percentage will go up.
If not, the bullet likely won't help a poor shot anyway
