Do you load for speed or accuracy?????
 
I load for accuracy. Maximum velocity would beat up my guns,my brass and me!
I like to know my shot is going where i aimed if don't hit a limb or something!!!!! What about you folks?

Accuracy everytime. No question about it.

Accuracy. It doesn't matter how fast something goes if it misses its intended target.

Always accuracy. Speed isn't worth a hill of beans if it is not hitting where it's aimed.

Accuracy first and foremost. Game don't seem to care how fast you miss them.

Accuracy first, cost second, but I do expect a certain speed. Even if I get accuracy, but 250-300fps slower then I should, I keep looking.

I had a 7mmstw, that could only get 2900fps with 7828 and 160gr pill. If I wanted that I would just get a 7mmremmag. So I kept looking and found what I want. Thats the fun on reloading, sooner or later, you can have best of both worlds with the right combo.

It cracks me up. I seen lots of guys say they didn't care what speed their load got. I break out the chrono, and I see them go home disappointed looking for some more.

Accuracy is all I load for...velocity lands where it lands...

I might also add,the damage i've seen to meat and hides,from high velocity loads amazed me. I guess the good side is the animal died quickly ?

You can have both in certain match ups. Accuracy is the most important. Time in flight makes all the difference in the world once you go past 300 yards. Just a thought.
