Guys, I'm developing a load for a mule deer hunt this fall. I've got a couple of good accurate loads with a 140 grain Sierra game King boat tail spitzer. I'll be shooting it out of a 270 wsm. I loaded it to 3000 fps at the muzzle and it shot great. Stepped the charge up 1 grain and to 3050, and it remained accurate. Any concerns with driving this bullet at these speeds? I have buddies that used to shoot the federal premium factory loads in 7 mag, and the published speed for that factory sierra load was 3110 fps. They killed truck loads of deer with those loads.
By the way, I normally shoot a 130 grain core lokt at 3100 fps muzzle velocity with excellent results on whitetails, but figured the Sierra would be a better choice for longer ranges out west. Thanks in advance for any feedback.
