With the deer rifles, I have to trim brass less, because there is lower pressure. It's also much easier to work up an accurate load; usually the first attempt at 5% off MAX is as good as it gets.
Yes..there is typically an accuracy node down around that point...bu there is typically another at or a little above listed max. The higher pressure node is usually much more consistent, and of course, faster. For me, I will take speed with accuracy every time, and in certain circumstances, I will sacrifice a certain amount of accuracy for speed. More speed makes slippery bullets behave much better at all ranges, but especially long ones.
In the end, I dont "frown upon" reduced loads...I simply dont see the point.
