[QUOTE="Playtimefun, post: 2785138, member: 103742"] I agree. To me there is no difference between reloading a target load and a hunting load. Really the only 2 differences should be are you downloading to hit the magical sweet spot of load velocity standard deviations (where you might be at the very low end of velocity for a cartridge) and the bullet. As an example I won't hunt with a berger bullet. Fantastically accurate but a friend used to use them and every animal he hit wound up having shrapnel through out it. The animal always went down instantly but lots of ruined meat. So if your trophy hunting on a trip and not eating/taking the meat home... then use them. But for me as a meat hunter, no thanks. I'll give up a small accuracy edge. Now on the flip side... if a gun won't shoot a certain bullet then I am looking for alternatives. [/QUOTE]
