[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 35244, member: 10"] Duff, You have to realize that that initial valocity gain will decrease with every yard your bullet travels until at 400 yards it will basically be insignificant. Even at the muzzle, even though there is a Ft/Lbs difference, there is zero difference in the ability to harvest game up to elk and moose. Again, I try to stress to my customers that their rifles will loudly tell them what they like, they just need to listen. Load up the more accurate load and go out and test this load at the ranges you plan on calling your max, even perhaps 100 yards beyond what you will be shooting at game, say 500 yards. Get proficient doing this and when that big bull steps out of the aspens at 350 yards, it will be a cake walk. And the elk will certainly never feel the difference in the different loads, he will be dead just as well with the lighter load as the heavier one. Good Shooting!! 50 [/QUOTE]
