[QUOTE="Weaselthis, post: 2697458, member: 19417"] Accurized R700, Bartlein #5 5R, 26": I suspect my 62.3g RE23 load MAY be pushing it. I didn't try further as the group began to open up and I had no pressure indications at work up. That said, 500y w/ either of these loads is MY max on elk/deer. Shot a Colorado cow at the neck/shoulder junction last Dec. w/ the 3326 fps load. 254y DRT. INSTANT dirt nap. I suspect either of the 60.5 load would have the same effect given the shot placement.....don't think she would notice the 164 ft./lb. difference. I had a few 62.3g rounds left over from testing and decided to us them. Haven't used them in hot weather. Probably won't. Hard to argue w/ 2237 fps, 1589 ft. lbs. at 500y and .529 MOA . Powder Gr.
