[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1003252, member: 48043"] I also look at the bullet weight/ powder ratio. If I have a 200 grain bullet I really do not want to be pushing it with more than 100 grains of rifle powder in a full pressure load. Over the 2:1 ratio and it seems to take bores out rather fast. Some rifles I have will drop down to 1.5:1 (my 7rum with 50cal ball is 1.24:1 with a 140) with mid weight or lighter bullets; those get heavier pills thrown at them without any thought other than accuracy as I am very keen on getting decent bore life out of even my "overbore" calibers. If they can get to 1.5:1 they aren't going to be suffering on wind drift or drop anyway as long as the bullet has a decent bc.. [/QUOTE]
