Years ago I only shot my Lotts with Max loads.Then I saw no need for this and started using lighter loads.It's both hard on the rifle and the shooter.It could perform less favorable on game too.The only time I will load it up again is if I use it in Africa and even then not to max but three or four grains less.I doubt the Woodleigh needs to be driven very fast to work properly and I know it will take as much punishment as a 500gr Swift-A-Frame bullet-which is a very tough bullet.I use to shoot frozen dirt mounds at top speed with the 550 Woodleigh RNSP and the 500gr A-Frame and they are tough.
