In my search for the gun and caliber for my next purchase, I've been looking a balistics on different loads.
Then I'm seeing Federal "high energy" or Hornady "light magnum" loads.
The federal high energy .30-06 180 Nosler Partition is pretty darn close to a standard .300 Win. Mag. 180gr. Partition.
So, are the "high energy" loads showing the true potential of the caliber, and the standard loads "tamed down" to make the super magnums look even better
OR....
Are the high energy loads manufactured in a way thatCAN'T be duplicated safely by handloading?
Any information would be appreciated.
Meaningless terms used by ammo manufacturers to sell more expensive ammo. Using a chronograph as opposed to the info provided on the box reveals the differences are much smaller than advertised and often nonexistent. Can be used with other old favorites like "tactical", Hi-Speed, Super X.................
So you have chronoed the Hornady light mag ammo.... Cause I have and it is faster and that translates to more energy and flatter shooting.... At least in my guns ... perhaps your guns shoot slower ...

Didn't say there was no difference......only that it is small. And yes I have chronod several varieties of both HE and LM ammo. Again mostly a sales tool with small meaningless differences.
