Longranger,

So are you suggesting that I load the same in the future? I was leaning toward going straight 180 grain (deer and elk) for future reloading.

Also, are you saying that velocities OVER 2700 in 165 are less accurate?
I notice that most factory loads I've seen lately are around 2800 to 2900 fps.
