a quick question for you guys about 150 grain boat tail sst bullets. im currently working on load development for them with blc2 powder and LC69 cases. i loaded 33 last night starting at 49g and increasing 1/2 g until i reached 53g. i plan on testing this weekend, but im wondering how much velocity is actually needed for my hunting situatuon
where we hunt shots can range from 40-150 yards and maybe im some rare cases reach 200 yards.
would the bullets perform better at these ranges with a little less charge? if i get a set that groups decent some where in the middle of the min and max would that be better than one that may group a little better at high charge weights/velocities?
thanks again for helping out a newby
