[QUOTE="ShootnMathews, post: 1160509, member: 59915"] If you're getting one hole accuracy, I wouldn't change a thing. The velocity is fine for shooting steel. I have an old Mosin that I sporterized that shoots .3" - .5" groups at 2400 fps but a max charge is around 2880. But as I go past 2400 it only opens up. At max load it shoots around 1.5" groups. So I keep it loaded around 2400 and I shoot it out to 800 yards with no problems. It's plenty accurate enough and has plenty enough power to really swing that gong. With a 127 grain bullet I'm not sure what you max effective range on game would be. I've heard those need pretty good velocity to expand well, but I've never used them. Anyways. Don't let the speed discourage you if the accuracy is there. Accuracy is king. No point in getting the bullet there faster if it doesn't go where you want it. [/QUOTE]
