Default RE: powder charges..

1. How many of you shoot magnum powder charges for hunting?
2. What rifle(s) do you shoot these magnum powder charges out of? ie; brand, model, barrel length
3. What projectile are you shooting when using magnum charges?
4. What ignition system are you shooting?
5. Is this a scoped rifle?
6. What animal are you hunting?
7. Do you feel this is a benifit with the magnum loads or is this the powder charge that gives you the best accuracy?
8. What do you feel is the max range you would be willing to shoot, if all things were perfect in relation to the shot?
9. Have you ever taken game with this load?
10. Have you ever missed with this load on game?
11. If you do not shoot MAGNUM CHARGES, what is the average non magnum powder charges, you do shoot in your rifles?
1) I have in the past
2) Gonic and Rem 700 MLS 26"
3) 460 conical and 300gr Hornady XTP
4) #11
5) Yes
6) Moose and Black Bear
7) In the case of the Gonic it wasthe spot, but withthe rem 700 I figured the extra power would be useful and gave up group size(have sinced learned from that thought).
8) 200 yards
9) Yes both species
10) Yes missed a buck with the gonic
11) As mentioned I did in the past but have since moved to 777 loose powder and shoot 90-110gr depending on the rifle and projectile.
