Well said Semi and you too flounder! What we all shoud do is explain the benefits of loads that are not Magnum and why Magnum Loads are NOT Needed. Newcommers think that if they shoot the (Maximum) Load then that's better, heck they bought a Magnum MLer why should'nt it preform best with 150gr's of Powder, right? WRONG!
The Manufactures have a Market for magnum MLers and they use it to make money, yet they do not tell you that you'd be way better off shooting 90-100+gr's of Powder than 150 or they'd lose money.
Heck even I fell victum to the Magnum Load and used it for years. I suffered accuracy and a Sore Arm but I still took Deer. Then I Nancy'd Up and started shooting 100gr's+- and boy was I surprised that not only could I still shoot as far but my groups were better, the Deer were just as Dead and My Shoulder did'nt Hurt Anymore.
