Enough of the mushy crap, I'm just trying to buy a new gun..... |
You can load it down pretty far. You can use the H-4895 60% rule.
As for accuracy, who knows. For short ranges, sub moa accuracy isn't needed anyway. |

If you are looking to reduce recoil or extend barrel life you can look in the manuals for the lightest charge listed. Typically a faster burning powder with the min starting load will minimize recoil and velocities and perform similar to smaller capacity cartridges.

As accuracy pursuits go,there's some constants,one of which is operating at or near a cartridge's full potential in regards to pressure. ES drops,consistency is realized and that gear selection bears the most fruit. A guy is always gonna do his best with a chambering he can handle well and that means loaded at/near potential(to eek the inherent mechanical attributes associated) and that less a brake or other silly fanfare. Less,is simply so very often more. Think bullets first,keep schitt real and never bullschitt yourself. A 243Win Today,trumps yesterday's '06 and most folks can't wrap their minds around such obvious notions. Killing is easy. 7mm is the bullet, how fast to get it at game under 300 lbs. and what to ignite it with is the problem. |
I once reluctantly downloaded a 30-378 with 4598 pushing a 165gr bt at 2900fps. It was sad seeing a weapon designed for one thing being used in such a manner.

Killing is just so very easy. The 7-08 will do just that to 1400yds at sealevel. |

Big is big...little ain't. Either way, a person has a choice. God bless em all and glad I live in a country where a person can "hunt" with a selfbow they made themselves, or snipe a animal at 1400 yards. |
