Well like most things alittle velocity is good but you can have too much. I reload fairly conservatively. I use std C&C bullets and several years ago I read an article by some some guy in a gun rag about how velocities of around 2700 fps was the pocket for most bullets performance and providing a flat trajectory over practical hunting ranges. I agree with you MD and my experiences have backed you up. As to accuracy I see on print how the greatest accuracy seems to occur at top velocities but this seems to have changed over the years as in the past it was touted that loads softer than max were often the most accurate. I have also found that milder loads is much more gentle on your brass requiring less trimming and more reloads per case. But what do I know I recently started a thread about how lead round balls at about 1700-1800 fps provided more DRT kills for me % wise than any other bullet for me.
