[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1275042, member: 85987"] Your not near the edge at your elevation till your muzzle velocity is below 2400 fps. If your load loses that much velocity your load sucked to begin with. With all of the advancements in powder technology as well as information it you don't use it it's meaningless. I lose less than 35fps in the rifles I use from my home range in the summer to winter cold weather coyote hunting. Mostly subzero. I live 1.5 miles from the high tide mark on Cape Cod 32' above sea level my home range(now closed due to politics) is at 24' above sea level. When I hunt at mom's elevation is above 1400' to above 3500' If a 9tw gives you that kind of confidence go for it but in real world conditions especially a cut rifle barrel a 10 covers the velocities a 300wsm can shoot the 230 or 225eld's 240smk is different as are the big monometals. Neither of which are great for a wsm application. If your legally restricted to shoot non lead then a 8tw to shoot the big hammers or GS bullets is needed. Not the same equation and unless your restricted you give up alot of bc and add in more correction needed due to tighter twist over the 1k threshold. [/QUOTE]
