[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 677122, member: 5302"] In talking with folks shooting belted 28 and 30 caliber magnums in long range matches, every single one of them mentioned they had problems getting good accuracy with the slower powders and hottest primers that shot bullets out the fastest. When they used powders in the 4350 to 4831 range and milder primers, they got much better accuracy. I had the same issues and quickly learned that winning the race to the target wasn't nearly as important as getting all the bullets to arrive there at the same place was. That works best for paper punching and I doubt any animal nor hunter will see any significant difference between bullets arriving on targets a long ways away a hundred fps slower. [/QUOTE]
