[QUOTE="jcpython357, post: 53235, member: 1187"] Brian, I've always gone by the statements put in the reloading manuals that accuracy is more important then blockbusting energy, although I've always thought, sure'd be nice to have another 100fps, but then came to my senses and thought, deer won't give a rats *** if he's getting hit by a 150gr bullet going 2600 or 2500fps, dead either way, and as Ian mentioned, case life is shot in the *** and what about that time I had my bolt stick after dispatching a deer for someone because I ignored an occasional flat primer from my 708 Savage(Tight chamber/throat)that incident could have cost me a deer had another deer been coming my way, I've since sold said rifle to bro-in-law, he shot like 6 deer with that rifle, and when he gave me some brass to reload I notice some flat primers, so I went down another grain, according to the last chrono I ran the rifle through, that load should run about 2500fps, 140gr Sierra. Still killing deer with it at 100+yds. Let's be careful out there. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] Jay. [/QUOTE]
