Thank you Trailrider and Seafire and all!

Seafire: Will that 150gr flatnose perform well at 2250muzzle? I know the standard 30-30 load is 2365, so I was thinking of bumping it to 2400fps??...

I've loaded a 125gr FPHP down to 2100fps, for out to 75yds, W. Oregon stuff/Willamette Valley.. So I wanted just a little longer round and thought of going to the 150grain for timbered edges/clearcuts...

I'm not taking this carbine w/Ghost Ring to the open sage desert to shoot long range,, so what is everyone's opinion on the correct velocity of the 150 grain FlatNose for deer?

Again, thank you gentlemen for your data and thoughts!
