If you are honestly tickled with ME (and I am not all suggesting that you shouldn't be...) then all you really need to do to be happy is to find the lightest slug that you believe is of decent construction, because sending that fast will edge the ME ever skyward.

I'm not suggesting that ME has no value or use, I'm merely saying that it can suggest a false sense of... well, worth, perhaps.
You make valid points but like everything go too far and it won't work. In this case go way light and you probably give up adequate penetration and almost certainly adequate barrier penetration. Don
