I have followed Hoot's very well tested advice. I just tapercrimp to .475 when I'm loading either the 225gr or 250gr FTX bullets. When I load the little 200gr FTX's or the 230gr .451 FMJ roundnose, I use a "Tightneck" sizing method followed by a tapercrimp to .475". However, I'm not even attempting to use some of the super hot loads some of these guy are being successful with. My loads are all kind of mild in comparison. Like Hoot has said, "I'm not tryin' to shoot thru three animals abreast", I just want one, dead right there. So far, my mild handloads have worked pretty well on elk for my Son.
Ask a Syrian why his gun rights are so important !
Then, ask yourself why any Politician really wants to take our's away !!!
