    The mind boggles why some ppl seem so obsessed with velocity...

    I know....I can't get it thru to them that they are better off with a accurate load than a fast load....especially with the 140g Amax I'm using.

    I think it might have something to do with the fact a 50yr + rifle is performing better than their new finn built ones
