[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 1911277, member: 105459"] [I] [B]IMHO you will be sacrificing barrel erosion which equates to barrel life in return for an increase in muzzle velocity . Think about that statement.[/B] Are you really prepared to replace a shot out barrel after only say 900 rounds downrange ? That is akin to giving a reputable barrel maker an additional $ 500.00 - $1,000.00 every 6 months or so depending on how much you shoot and what type of barrel you are using ( carbon fiber , 416 SS or moly chrome, cut chamber or prefit ,fluted barrel, contoured barrel , blued barrel , threaded muzzle , etc. etc.) If your primary use is for hunting then disregard the above however if shoot the same weapon frequently well then the above may apply. I myself prefer a blended mix of accuracy and velocity and as such do not load for maximum velocity but rather using my chronograph to make a determination of data obtained beforehand , concentrating on my best and most accurate SD, & ES numbers during load development. Additionally using the Satterlee Ladder Chart and OCW charts as mentioned before hand. In this prescribed manner I know that I am literally in my groove come hunting seasons. OBTW residing in South Western Florida I do throw a lot of lead down range, all year long and not just as a recreational shooter during seasons. It is because of this that I've made my comments, which may not understandably coincide with yours. I sincerely hope that you will consider the validity which is contained within my texts ![/I] [B] Thank You Again for taking the time to read my words ![/B] [/QUOTE]
