No question about the importance of bullet selection but I'm thinking most cartridges are chosen because of their ballistic performance and the bullet selection available for them .. not the other way around. Some cartridges in the same "group" definitely outperform others in most respects with any given caliber/weight bullet. Everyone has their favorite cartridges for a variety of reasons. Today there are enough good choices of both to make almost everyone happy...or so it seems.
