[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1493155, member: 4191"] Note that I stated "[U][I]long range loads[/I][/U]". When I shoot a game animal at long range, I load my shells single shot-style. I don't carry my LRH ammo in the magazine. The loads in my magazine are bear and camp defense rounds. Swift A-Frames, Trophy Bonded Bear Claws, Barnes TSX, etc. controlled expansion bullets. Be careful interior neck lubing shells to be carried in the mag on heavy recoiling rifles. My bear/camp defense loads carried in the magazine are still HBN coated bullets. I may lube the necks with Hornady Unique on a Q-tip, but it's a thin coat followed by removal with a clean Q-tip. The slightest film remains - think microscopic/molecule-thin coating. And I also ensure sufficient neck tension to keep the bullets held fast, even under recoil. The shells in my magazine don't need to be any more accurate than 1moa. Even 1.5moa is good enough. Honestly, bear/camp defense load development is very limited. I ensure safe pressure levels, functional feeding, and general POI testing for comparison to my long range ammo POI. [/QUOTE]
