Max charges? In all my years of ML shooting I never found heavy charges to be the most accurate, and to me accuracy trumps power. (Hint: the deer won't tell the difference. Case in point, the most accurate half-stock rifle I ever owned was an old Ithaca .50 percussion gun. It would put its balls into a ragged hole not much bigger than a single bullet hole at 50 yards all day long, with a charge that many would find to be ludicrously light: 50gr. FFFg. I also killed as many deer with that gun and load as I did with anything else too.)
When I see a guy show up to shoot and he walks around bragging about his 120gr. loads and conical bullets I think "newbie", but sometimes give him the benefit of the doubt if he's prepping for a big bear hunt or aiming to kill a moose (which is never the case).
