[QUOTE="Winchester 69, post: 271196, member: 8037"] What I recall from Zediker's book regarding fireforming wildcat cases is that using full pressure loads results in the brass having a longer life. For non-wildcats, I don't recall his having said anything about fireforming. What he said about different ranges regarded using lighter bullets at short range to minimize fatigue during a match. Not much of this applies to hunting unless you're using a wildcat and want to maximize brass life. Boat-tail bullets generally aren't a good idea for hunting unless they're bonded. They're more accurate at long range because of reduced flight time due to their higher ballistic coefficients. With that, flat-based bullets are usually preferred for hunting. [/QUOTE]
