Been playing around with some new loads. My question is does a 290gr bullet hold together and have more penetration on deer size game shooting the same powder charge than a 250gr bullet ? Most ballistic tables show the 250gr out preforms the 290gr out to about 150 yards witch is about my max yards. Little history I shoot a Remington 700ml ( not the ultimate ) 100gr of 777ffg by volume Barnes T EZ 290gr bullet , I can shoot sub 1" groups with this combo. Remington and 777 say MAX load 100gr powder that's why I don't shoot any more than 100gr. Im a stickler for accuracy but I also want to shoot the best killing load . Just playing around having some fun in the summer , just thought I would see what your guys thoughts were . Thanks !!
