Don’t look for it in the book, they don’t go this high! LOL Just wondering if anyone else has had any experience with a similar load. I didn’t see any pressure signs and got a three shot 100 yard group that was just over ½ an inch.

JB sometimes you have ask yourself how dead is dead
.for my hunting loads accuracy means more than speed.I have seen lots of guys push the 7 mag hard and they are shooting 100 lb texas deer
.IMHO work up a load and find the sweet spot for your rifle.there isn't a deer here in the lower 48 that can take a 145 gr GS bullet @ 2500-2600 fps and walk off if you put it where in belongs.I haven't had one of my bullets bounce off a deer yet.
