Our discussion about stronger bolt material for high pressure loads?? led us to the idea that a lighter hunting bullet might satisfy some folks' interest for speed.
We found there is a fair bit of interest in a premium bullet weighing between 100 and 110 grains. That bullet would have an interesting range and indeed exhibit higher muzzle velocities than the 120 - 130 grain bullets most often found in factory loads. There was also some discussion about even lighter bullets.
This thread is started to continue that discussion as a topic distinct from the OP's question about higher pressures and the structural changes needed to support them.
