[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1394990, member: 97414"] Why not pick the larger in case capacity,,, this allows you to get things done in the long range shooting and Hunting thing . Then tap it kool in the off season. Less powder burnt, less barrel wear, more time spent plinking on the fun side . Shoot lighter bullets at a less price that saves on funds. Exp: I shoot a 30/06 I load even across the board "Less" the powder charge. I load hot during harvest season pushing the 178gr Hornady ELD-X @ 2880 ft-per second's,,, then tap it down to 2680 ft-per seconds at general plinking of F Class , the 1 km ,,, and the odd 1700m shoots in the summer. That way I get the best of both worlds and a extends mileage out of the rifling. I did this same thing with my 300 Weatherby Mag back in the day. The only reason I scaled back is I'm a bush harvester and don't go after critters beyond my hand held shooting skills . 50 to 200 m's with the option to drop the the poles for 350 to 400 meters "if" the shot per-mits. This idea is just an option for those that choose to go this route. I have 2 ballistic charts for each cartrage charge, that way I'm good for both categories. 1 cartrage, 1 rifle, and 2 loads to fill the needs. Don from Western Canada [/QUOTE]
