I normally shoot between 3 and 5 whitetails a year, and seldom have any real meat loss to any caliber. I shoot different calibers from a .350 Rem mag, .257 Roberts, .308 etc.. Last year I shot one with the .350 facing me where I held just a tad low on the neck and got a little bit of damage over the front shoulders. I think the whole situation just boils down to bullet placement, and I opt for neck shots whenever possible, or heart shots if I have to.
I guess a really fast bullet next to a meaty portion of the animal could cause damage, but I would doubt a few hundred fps would make a big difference.
