...Saying a deer would not know that H4831sc can't push the 150's at a decent velocity is therefore no authority at all. I get about 2750 fps with a maximum load of H4831sc with the 150's. With the 140's I get just over 3000 fps with a maximum load of H4831sc. I'm far better off using 130's or 140's than 150's with H4831sc.
2800 fps., for a good .277/150 gr. bullet, IS a decent velocity.
Even for the lowly SPEER Grand Slam, BC 0.378, that's 2,100 fps./1500 ft-lbs. at 300 yards.
No complaints.

Perhaps in absolute terms that is reasonable. However, relative to what other cartridges and/or bullets and powders can do, it is not very good. Also, in terms of efficiency, such a large case burning so much powder for 2750 fps is not good, relative to what other combinations can achieve.
So you are advancing the academic theory of, "dead-er?"
Like women, am not too impressed with the new variety all y'all think is so great.
The old kind works just fine, and has for almost a hundred years, and the women much longer than that.
And killin' game at 3-400 yards with <60 grn. of powder, v. 70 or 80 grn's?
Is efficient.
And a fast-twist .270 will extend that out to 600 yards.
