[QUOTE="DREBS, post: 2649432, member: 61655"] Ok so yes I know the 7mm prc is on paper 200 fps faster .. I’ve looked at the ballistics and I don’t mind the 280 AI “if” I can push it to max velocity.. HOWEVER as we all know accuracy might occur 80 fps down off max velocity. I’m going to be getting to low there to justify the 280 ai over the 7mm prc I don’t need a list of cons or pro’s I know them all my question is simpler and one I’ve never considered… As this will be in a savage 110 ultralite at 5.8 lbs I would want to load this round down for target shooting and up for hunting .. I can realistically see a couple extra hundred rounds at least over the barrel life doing this.. I have experience with loading to max but not purposefully loading down . My benefits will be longer barrel life less recoil when shooting and not hunting. The question revolves around case capacity and I have x,y,x powders and they are poor case fill capacity’s am I looking at accuracy issues or any other issues I’m looking to run into that I’m not aware of, maybe higher es leading to poor accuracy? If so I suppose I could find another powder that fills better and groups . Ideally I’d like to get the reloading guide for a given bullet and load it to the slowest powder near the “min” starting point but obviously this is the opposite of what most people do so anyone been in the vein ? Have any advice ? [/QUOTE]
