[QUOTE="Bullwhacker, post: 1523191, member: 77346"] I shoot 140 AB at 3450 fps out of a 26" Lilja barrel with 7828 for the past 6 years. During load work it shot better and better as pressure increased. Velocity is amazing and pressure signs are moderate. This combo has taken 3 bull elk, couple cow elk and a few deer, 2 of the elk and 1 deer were beyond 600 yards. I have a hand full of recovered bullets and they all look as you would expect. A friend made a finishing timber shot on a bull elk in the shoulder at 40 yards a couple weeks ago. I was amazed the bullet held together and performed well at such a high velocity. Rib cage had a baseball size entrance and exit and the bullet was under the hide of the far shoulder. The bull made another couple steps and was down. I have two different boxes of heavier and sexier bullets I've been planning on switching to but I can't justify it while this combo keeps doing exactly what I want it to do. [/QUOTE]
