[QUOTE="Littlehud, post: 3032262, member: 85418"] Yes there are other reasons to reload. Years ago I worked with a guy who had an eye disease that required new corneas. He had just had one replaced and wanted to go elk hunting. The doctor OK'ed the trip but we were concerned with recoil. I found the minimum energy needed for elk, and calculated a load for his "06, and loaded ammo for him, and told him to keep it inside of 200 yds.. He shot an elk at 70-80 yds, and put it down just fine It went about 25 yds. We found his 2 bullets just under the skin on the opposite side. can't get much better than that with every bit of energy being expended inside the elk. recoil of course was very mild. [/QUOTE]
