[QUOTE="snox801, post: 1748193, member: 54383"] Well it’s not my expertise but I’d say you should be able to. I was having no issues with the 147 eld in mine. Second you mentioned it being a hunting round. Ha e you figured if you wil gain any useable distance for hunting running it? Here was my issue. I fell into the same thought process as you bigger is better. So I chased that to the ends of the earth. Then I was looking at my chart one day and thought wow even if I got that animal at 900 yards with my creed am I comfortable with how little speed and energy it has left. My answer was no. So I moved to the hammer hunter 124gr. Did everything better to the distance I needed in my creed. Now for targets hands down that big boy will pass my 124 around 400-500 yards I would think. Just guessing. So if you hit the range a lot maybe worth it to either have two loads or the Berger. I think at some point the case capacities get to low and it’s not worth it. Sounds like you have the same line of thinking. Wonder myself how it will do in a creed. [/QUOTE]
