I'm thinking I might have to up the charge in order to gain the 7-08 velocity, assuming accuracy holds.

"An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots." It is certainly easy to use that same line of thinking with firearms. -- Unknown
