lol virginia i figured i should say that bc ive seen the abuse people get whenever they say they use anything bigger than a 22. that'll probably get me in trouble for sayin that too though. im not really set on using 150's its just that if i dont have to my old load is accurate and i dont really want to change it if i dont need to (dont fix something thats not broke). another question my grandpa always used regular large rifle primers. is there any reason to use magnum. im dont really understand what it does thats special. try to explain please. what bullets would u guys recommend for a load that could be used to take deer bear and maybe boar or elk sometime. mainly deer though. any bullet recommendations are welcolmed and wanted. what would u think of a 165 partition. thanks
