We don't need monster holes, double holes and monster bullets to harvest deer. Plus, if people want to pound their shoulder into oblivion or Eenar shooting deer with magnum 110-120 grains of Blackhorn on deer (at under 100 yard harvests 90% of the time) , go right ahead.
Not me, said the offhand shooter. I like my 80-90 grains BH209 use.
It's not about "want" for me as far as loading high end pressure loads. My barrel just performs the best at 100 to 120 grains of BH. It's a teeth rattling experience with 290gr+ bullets too! At the bench anyway. I haven't found a bullet/sabot combo yet that would group better than 2.5@100 with less than 100gr BH or 95gr T7 loose. Imagine shooting one of my 350gr connies with 110gr T7 loose! Damn thing will loosen your teeth and ya bowels! But that load clover leafs at 150 yards! Sometimes it's not about want, because I sure as heck don't like having to go 10-15 yards behind me to retrieve my shoulder! It's about what your barrel performs best with. Main reason I'm looking around for something in the .45 club that I might even go smokeless with! Getting tired of having to reset my motor functions after every shot!
