"There have been a couple of threads here lately where commonly used bullets that are generally accepted to be good performers, haven't expanded as expected.
I am just wondering if the loads used may have been the issue?"
I agree that most reloads do not match advertised manual velocities, but I doubt that a few hundred fps is seriously detrimental to a bullet's performance unless your are already on the low or high end of the scale
Mostly detrimental to egos.
