I get them for about $36/100

Thats reason enough to like them. Plus they are awesome in the Savage at SML speeds.

I have shot 140 grains of BH with a .458-275 Lehigh and really it is not all that bad... In fact I do not know if I know the difference between 120 and 140...

This is the FTX on media out of a SML but was only moving around 175fps faster than the 52cal can shoot them.

It retained about 254gr IIRC

I thought the company had load limits on the powder charges by bullet weight. Isn't 150 too high? Just trying to remember what the actual powder charge max was for a 300 and 350 gr. bullets. But I do remember that max was about 120 grs.

Anyone want to chime in on this matter? Am I wrong?

I'm not really sure. I was just joking, my shoulder wouldn't like me real well.
