A faster is better mentality no doubt. A perceived notion that a faster bullet will make up for other short comings of both the cartridge and the shooter perhaps?


Well, like I said. I'm looking for accuracy and low recoil. Even the hot loads are pretty mild recoil though. I'm going to load up a few, but need to shoot some to get brass. It looks like I don't have much that isn't in loaded factory form.

I don't need to super fast. I have a .280 if I need more FPS. I don't need 175gr bullets, I have the .30-06 for that. But you guys have given me a good starting point, so thank you.


Camp is where you make it.
