There is some good practical info on this site about reloaded cartridges and their performance, both in accuracy and in the field. I enjoy reading how some have really gone way beyond what I do in reloading and how they got there and why.

My reloading is as basic as it gets. I played with different bullets a bit just to see what shot best in my rifle.

All shot good, but a couple were definitely more consistantly accurate.

Im really not knowledgable enough in the area to make a claim on bullet expansion. I just try to make my most accurate cartridge and go with that.

I see I made an error in my previous post tho. I meant 165 accubonds not 180. Ive never shot a 180 accubond

My rifle is a Sako A7. An AO member got it, shot it and wrote a nice article on it. Its a 30-06. Not his favorite calibre so I bought it and its my hunting rifle.

I have a Parker Hale 300 win mag with open sights. It is for 80yds and under on cutlines. I use whatever ammo i have in my pocket for it. It shoots pretty good at that distance
