Objective:
This rifle is my longer range deer hunting rifle. For this setup, my goal is to develop a hunting load that is effective up to 350-400 yards. With this bullet, I need to achieve a MV of at least 2,450 fps to ensure the bullet will deliver at least 1,000 ft/lbs of energy past 350 yards. With this load work up, I’m looking to balance max accuracy with max velocity.
