That is not necessarily true with ALL bullets. Some....yes...

Cannot argue with "...things in motion tend to stay in motion".

Heavier bullet pushed at a moderate rate, IF stabilized properly, is rather good.

The Savage competition rifle that I shoot loves 180 gr Nosler BT's and 208 gr AMax's. The 208's fly better and are more accurate at long distance...even though they leave the barrel slower.
